Are implantation of bone anchors (to help with an incisional hernia repair) part of the surgery when implanting the mesh?
I interpret from 49568-mesh code guidelines in the hernia section that these anchors are included. (if the mesh is already being billed, the anchors are included with the mesh.)Semi-new to the specialty and physician wanting to know if insertion of bone anchors are billable.
I appreciate anyone else's interp of bone anchor implantation with hernia repair.
