Looking for way to recoup cost for surgical backup required on Melody valve insertions. Someone recommended surgeon seeing patient in consultation prior to valve procedure by cardiology but I disagree with this suggestion as "consultation requirements" are not being met. There is a standby code but CMS does not reimburse this code. Does anyone have experience with this issue?
