I'm wondering what everyone does to bill for hardware (screws, plates, etc) in an ASC setting (Physician owned)? I know that most insurances write them off and consider them to be part of the global fee.
We've been tossing around the idea of using the ABN for Medicare patients, and a similar form for private insurance patients to allow us to bill the patient for the hardware we use in their procedures.
Is this ok? I know we can go back to the drawing board and negotiate with the private insurance companies to allow payment for hardware, but is there anything we can do in the meantime until our contracts are up for renewal?
Any advice would be helpful!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
