Wiki Billing for corneal tissue

[leren44]

Does anyone know if an ASC can bill insurance for corneal tissue (V2785) if the patient procedure was cancelled? We had a patient scheduled for a keratoplasty today and was cancelled due to no clearance from the PCP. We were billed $4200.00 from the eye bank.

Any assistance is appreciated

Yes, CPT V2785 can be billed as cpt description is for Processing, preserving and transporting corneal tissue not for application of cornea.
