Good afternoon -
I got some information telling us that the new CPT Hernia codes 49591-49623 cannot be done in our Surgery center, getting kick back from our UM dept that they must be done in a hospital outpatient ASC.
New codes incorporate any approach, so I am little confused as to why they cannot be done in our surgery center. Is this true or not? trying to locate information.
I can't find anywhere to let me know that they cannot be done in our surgery center. Why would we need to send a patient to a hospital outpatient facility, if there is no need to.
that would be loss revenue to our organization and providers when we can do procedures in house.
Any information would be greatly appreciated it.
