Wiki Dumb Question?

[bpowell121774]

I can not find any information on whether it is appropriate to bill for the repair or the removal of something due to an interoperative injury done by the MD. For example an injury to a spleen during surgery which the bleeding can not be controlled so it must be removed??

We do not

We do not bill for fixing surgical errors / misadventures.

Hope that helps.

I agree - most doctors live by the motto of 'you break it - you fix it'. ;-)
