We have seen providers rolling up charges for multiple, same-day surgical procedures under the primary code and then billing the other codes with $0 charges. They claim this is acceptable, however, then as a payer, we are unable to apply multiple surgery reductions (50%) to the secondary, etc. procedures because we don't know how much they provider charged.
Has anyone else come across this problem, and if so, how do you resolve the issue - denying the $0 lines back for charges???
Thanks
