Was wondering if anyone has run into this problem, and what to do?

Dr did
93508
93545
93556
33210

and then he did a 92973 but it says you have to bill for the primary procedure
(92980,92982) He didnt do that procedure, so I can't bill for the thrombectomy then?

Please help :confused:
 
Hello,

You are correct; 92973 is an add-on code that can be billed with 92980 or 92982 only. If 92980 or 92982 was not performed the physician cannot bill 92973.
