Hello everyone,

My physician was assisting another physician during outpatient Hospital Essure Procedure which was done as OUTptn hosp procedure. I've billed 58565-80 with v25.2. CLaim denied for "this procedure code does not allow for an assistant Srg." Can anyone please confirm that this is in fact true.

Thanks in advance

According to the OB-GYN 2012 coding companion an assist for the Essure proceedure is not allowed.
