Happy New Year
I would like some direction in how to obtain information to support a question that a Plastic Surgeon at our facility is questioning.
Physician is asking when he does a frozen section and gets report from pathologist and if necessary needs to reexcise and repairs with a flap closure is he able to bill for the frozen section? It has been my understanding that because it is under the same operating session and is a flap closure , we can only bill the flap repair, is this correct?
Thank you for your help.
