I believe things get bundled because they are performed in over 80% of cases being billed.
Mesh was being used in over 80% of umbilical hernia repairs, so it was determined that the mesh is integral to the procedure and, therefore, not separately reimbursable.
I believe that it is just a matter of time before they include mesh in all hernia codes but that is just IMHO.
