Does anyone know if struts are includied in the 20697 code or is there a seperate code for the billing of the strut?
So the cost of the strut is included in this code?
Just wanted to clarify because I'm not finding anything written that specifically states whether the strut is inclusive.
Most of the CPT I use don't include supplies.
They have a separate L,J or Q code in addition to the CPT code.
I do about 30-35 strut changes a week and have to figure out how to code this properly.
The only way you can capture this is IF your office actually purchased the strut fromthe vendor and carried it to the operating room. Usually the vendors supply the facilities with these. The facilities pay for them and charge out to the carrier.
