Hi all!

I am new to plastic surgery billing, I am trying to get the billing for this plastic surgeons group that according to the doctor Medicare has not paid him on any breast reconstructive surgeries after a mastectomy for implants. Is there a specific way medicare needs to be billed in order to get "medically necessary" implants paid?

Please help
 
I have not had any issues with Medicare paying for reconstructions following mastectomy. What codes are you billing? A description of the procedures that the doctor is performing or an op note and the codes that you are billing would be helpful to try and answer your question.
 
Thank you

I am meeting the doctor next thursday, I hope to have all info then and will post accordingly. Thank you for your help!
