Good Afternoon,
I am running into an issue while billing a specific claim. Patient was seen in my office, has Medicare and had a biopsy with General Anesthesia with 2 doctors present. I am in an Oral and Maxillofacial practice so we use the universal D codes for anesthesia on a regular basis. I do know that Medicare will not accept the D codes for the anesthesia, we will apply the medical code, 00170. I need to add a modifier and I am unsure of which modifier to use concerning billing for 2 surgeons who are anesthesia certified being present & doing both surgery and anesthesia. Any suggestions
Thanks in advance
