I work for an oculoplastic surgeon who recently did a DCR procedure. He used another of our physicians as an assistant surgeon. They want me to bill the primary doctor using CPT 68720 and then put a 80 next to it. Would that not signify that he was the assistant surgeon? My thought was that i needed 2 encounters, one for the surgeon billing 68720 and another encounter for the assistant using 68720/80. I do not want to have the primary surgeon's fee cut by using the 80 modifier.
