Hello,
a patient had a bone growth stimulator implanted in 2015. About 8 months later, the same provider who implanted it, removed the stimulator. The patient has medicare. Can we bill with a modifier 58 for staged procedure for reimbursement, or it the removal of the bone growth stimulator included in the implant if performed by the same provider. I am not able to find anything on this...
Thank you for your time and any input you have.
Have a nice day!
