I'm confused by reading CMS Rules & Guidelines....
When submitting claims for multiple surgeries do you sequence the codes by:
1. By primary surgery, (then how do you determine sequence for additional surgeries)
2. RVU
I was told that I am to list the procedures by Highest RVU.
In a discussion with another coder, she said that the order doesn't matter.
ALSO: During office visit, E/M is reported first.
If tests are performed, such as Audio, do you list them highest RVU first or
does it matter how they are listed?
I can't find any specific easy to understand answers.............
