Not sure who can help, I have a general surgery provider who is trying to use CPT 15860 for ICG dye during colorectal surgeries, there is minimal coding resources for this. Thus far from what i have read, PAYERS usually bundle it to main procedure but i can't find anything related to colorectal surgeries and dye. The code description its self is for a flap or graft which the provider is NOT doing. I did find Per NCCI manuals of contrast used, sounds like they bundle it to main procedures but then again its open to interpretation. I'm a little stuck if i should recommend provider not to bill separately or help him find another code.
Any advice is greatly appreciate to know how to handle this with the provider. He don't agree its bundled and doesn't seem to care that he is using it incorrectly and not obeying to what the code description states.
