Our physician has been doing lipoma removals in the office. Recently we have had one pay and is now going to recoup and another flat out denial because it was not done in an ASC. The procedures are soft tissue excisions.
He would like a list of these procedures or a way to verify before hand what he can do in the office and for the life of me (and my associate) we can not figure out how to determine this. She's scoured books and I've scoured the internet looking for a list from Medicare or anything to show me what procedures can and can not be performed in the office.
Does anyone know of a resource that can help us? Or are we missing a sign somewhere?
