My physician was trying to repair a duodenal ulcer. He opened the patient and found her gallbladder was adhesed to the stomach. As he was trying to remove the adhesions off the gallbladder, he damaged the gallbladder wall. At that point, he felt as if he needed to remove the gallbladder. Can he bill for the gallbladder removal? I thought I read somewhere that the physician cannot bill for instances like that but I can't seem to find where I read that!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
