Wiki 67904 and 15823 together

[Andrea828]

I'm having a hard time explaining to my physician the proper way to bill out for 67904 and 15823 during same surgical session. Can he bill both for both eyes using a "59" on the 15823 or is it considered bundled and only the 67904 will get paid. The more I think about it, the more confused I get. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

NCCI Manual states

"CMS payment policy does not allow separate payment for a blepharoptosis procedure (CPT code 67901-67908) and blepharoplasty procedure (CPT codes 15822, 15823) on the ipsilateral upper eyelid"

Would this also apply to billing 67900 and 15823 together? My physicians is thinking there has been a change and they cannot be done during the same surgical session.
