Is anyone out there billing this new code that went into effect 7/1/2013 and if so would you share the amount you charge for that code. Any advice or info is greatly appreciated

Thanks for your time

For commercial health insurance and medicare we are billing $3,500.00. They both actually reimburse somewhere around $1,000.00 - $1,500.00. For motor vehicle and workmans compensation we bill around $15,000.00 as they reimburse higher. But there are surgeons in our area who charge upwards of $17,500.00 not sure of their reimbursement rates though. I just recently billed 0334t to a workmans comp so I'm pretty anxious to see what the rate is. Assistant's aren't reimbursable just FYI.

Hope that helps some.
