Hello,

Can the same speciality bill for a co-surgoen and an assistant surgeon during the same surgery. It would be a cardiac surgeon working with a cardiologist, then another cardiac surgeon working as an assistant surgeon. I have not been billing for the 2nd cardiac surgeon as an assist and am being asked to show a policy that has this written.

Thank you,

Diane
