The difference is subtle, so it's hard to see sometimes...Like Arlene said:
Incidental = "Inclusive" - it's a small part of a bigger total procedure - like, a Lidocaine injection, when giving someone stitches, or a venipuncture when starting an IV. (It's an integral part of the main procedure).
"Bundled" = a group package of separate procedures that are commonly performed together, and when they are all done at once, have a specific code to describe them. Bundled almost always refers to labs - like the 80050 panel (84443 + 85025 + 80053)
Make sense?
