Wiki Coding Help

Does anyone know in this circumstance, can you bill for this:

During prostate seed implant the bladder was nicked, which then had to be cauterized to stop the bleeding.

Are you able to bill for this? Any suggestions ?

Thanks

No

In general you would not code for repair of injury caused by the surgeon.

Hope that helps.
