Hello coders:

Our Dr's are starting to use the Robotics for surgeries. Do you know if reimbursement is any different from Laproscopic? I see code S2900 represents the Robotic part but shows no reimbursement for it through the CMS site.
One Sx we just did was a 49656 which is a Lap recurrent Ventral Hernia. The Dr. also did 15734 which is component seperation he usually does this in a open procedure but this time he did it using the robotic.
I don't see a code for the Robotic or the Laproscopic part.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
MJ:)
 
one of our surgeons is also beginning to bill for robotic surgery. I am also wondering if others are billing for this and getting paid? (how much are you charging?)
 
Medicare does not pay on s codes. I used to report s2900 to commercial. If they paid,wonderful. If not, we adjusted off
