We have the following situation:
Provider outside of our practice performed surgery
Physician in our practice assisted
PA in our practice also assisted.
We billed surgical code with Mod 80 for the physician and surgical code with Mod AS for the PA.
The insurance only wants to pay for the physician with the Mod 80. I am unable to locate anything that states we cannot bill for BOTH the physician and the PA as assists.
Does anyone have any information or references regarding this situation? I have not encountered this before.
Thank you!
