Hello,
Wondering if anyone has any input on this. How would you bill the resident charges if they were the assistant during a c-section and their supervising physician was the primary surgeon? The primary surgeon would be the billing provider on both claims which is not possible since the primary surgeon can't bill for both procedures. Is there a modifier that can be used since an attending physician was not available to be the assistant?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
