I am doing an audit for my insurance company (3rd party liability for a personal injury) and the claimant had an outpatient lumbar discectomy/laminectomy one level. Do outpatient facilities get reimbursed for each line item on the bill or for a "procedure" cost like a package? The bill has some CPT codes for the supplies, surgery times, drugs, etc but not for all of them. I know this may seem like a real novice question, just looking for some insight so go easy on me. I am a nurse, not a professional biller. Thanks.
