Wiki pterygium removal and cpt 65778

[debbiey]

we take our patients to the ASC to remove the pterygium and then the patient has a same day post op with the doctor in our clinic, at that time the doctor puts the 65778 prokera over the site. has anyone else done this and how do you do on reimbursement?

Hello,
Have you received any answers on this? We do them at the same time in the ASC or in post op on a different day so I can't say whether that works. I am assuming the Prokera is preplanned for these cases? Would they consider doing the POV's next day instead?
