Hello All,
I have two doctors same specialty same sub-specialty, they want to do co surgery's (-62) with each other. As i understand it from Medicare that two surgeons from same specialty/sub-specialty can not bill as co surgeons. Is this correct? Can they switch as primary physicians during a procedure for example: Hysterectomy and a colpopexy. Dr A dose the hysterectomy as primary and Dr B does the Colpopexy as primary. Can Dr A and B bill as co-surgeons? Can they also bill as assistants to each other at the same time? I think no, but they keep asking and if there is any documentation you can direct me too that would be great. Thank-you!!
