Bravo procedure

[anknight77]

We have recently started performing the BRAVO procedure in our ASC instead of the hospital. When we did this at the hospital, we always billed 43235 EGD for placement and when the report was read a couple of days later we billed 91035-26 for the professional component. It is my understanding that the hospital billed the technical component because it was actually their equipment. Now that we have the equipment, do we bill the EGD and the91035-TC for the facility on the day of placement and then 91035-26 for the physician on the day the report is read? Please help!!!!

You can bill the 91035 globally (no modifier) on the day of the reading. This is how we do it in our ASCs, with no issues getting paid.

This is my first time using this, I need help and saw your post..Our doctor places the Bravo capsule at the same time EGD is done and reads it later. We are billing the 91035 like 2 weeks later when it is read...is that acceptable?
