For CPT 22558 surgeon #1 performs the anterior approach and has an assistant surgeon, and surgeon #2 performs the spinal surgery. Can the following be billed?
Surgeon #1 22558 mod 62
Assistant to #1 Surgeon 22558 mod 80
Surgeon #2 22558 mod 62
Or is there an industry standard that states a co-surgeon can't have an assistant surgeon who is not the other cosurgeon.
Thank you!
