I am a recently certified COC.
I code/bill implant cases for multiple surgery centers.
We have an overseas coding team that takes care of the non-implant cases.
Today, I received an email from someone who is not a coder and she is asking me and the overseas team to do the following:
• Synovectomies always bill as total unless the op report says specifically partial was done
• Cpt 20610 can be billed for each injection given
• Debridements always bill extensive unless the op report says specifically partial was performed
These are very generalized statements to make, in my opinion.
I'd apreciate anyone's "take" on this!
I have been here over 2 years and this same person is always trying to add codes when I don't think they are there.
