We are having a debate within our office. Our question is in regards to multiple surgery guidelines & the order in which procedures should be submitted on claims. We are debating whether the RVU's for a procedure should be doubled for a bilateral procedure when determining the order in which claims should be submitted.
For example, Procedure A has an RVU of 15.0 & Procedure B has an RVU of 10.0. Procedure A was performed unilaterally & Procedure B was performed bilaterally. Which order should this claim be submitted:
RVU's
Procedure A 15.0
Procedure B 10.0
RVU's
Procedure B 20.0
Procedure A 15.0
If you are able to help me in anyway I would greatly appreciate it.
