Provider A is doing a 58571 with S2900. As provider A realizes there are many adhesions on the right, she takes care of transecting and ligating on the left and calls in Provider B from same group. Provider B takes over at console and does LOA, colpotomy, removes cervix and uterus through vagina. Provider A closes. How do I bill this? Break down into LOA, colpotomy and 58660 for Provider B, and 58571 with 52 for Provider A? This one had me stumped. The note from Provider B described himself as an intraoperative consult, but he obviously did way more than a consult. Should I suggest he change his participation to that of an assistant? My problem with that is Provider B is one of the providers who does not like to document or change anything.
I don't have the note in front of me, but any guidance would be nice.
