pt comes in for a recurrent hernia repair with insertion of a new mesh, is there a code to remove the old mesh? is this considered bundled, if it's not bundled what is your source to remove the old one?
 
If a recurrent hernia repair is done...removal of the old mesh is inclusive. If removal of mesh is the only procedure performed then that can be billable separately with appropriate documentation.
