Question Coding 66984 with 68841

[kjfetts]

When coding for cataract surgery on the professional side, are cpt 66984 and cpt 68841 bundled even though there is no CCI edit?

Hi @kjfetts ,

Not bundled under NCCI if there’s no CCI edit; however, both codes should only be billed when separately performed and medically necessary, and payer-specific edits/policies may still impact reimbursement.
