Hello,
We have a coding sheet with the primary surgeons CPT code selection. We also have the Assisting Surgeon CPT code sheet. Each coding sheet have different CPT code choices. After reviewing the Op note, the assisting surgeon CPT code selection is correct. Is there a way to submit the claim with the assisting surgeon choice or should we contact the primary surgeon to correct the cpt code(s)?
What if the assisting surgeon is not an employee of the hospital but the Primary Surgeon is, does that matter?
Thanks!
