Hi folks!
I have an MD who has taken to listing 3 people as his assistants on many procedures. Currently, the MD lists 2 residents, and the attending for the 1 of the residents. I'm seeking further clarification from the MD as to why 3 people were medical necessary for the procedure.
My question would be, how can I code for these assistants? They are requesting coding if possible (of course), but I'm unable to find really clear guidelines to point me in the right direction.
Opinions/recommendations w/ citations appreciated! Thanks!
