Our MAC has info about pass through devices for ASC (attached file) but we are running into issues with billing it. The patient secondaries don't recognize the code (not in their fee schedule) so the patient ends up owing a huge amount of money. I know there is a benefit for showing our costs for these newer technologies so when an actual CPT code is created the allowed amount is comparable, but we don't want to bill it if it creates monetary stresses on our patients.
