Hi Coders,
Can anyone tell me how to report/bill the following scenario?
Procedure: C4-C5 ACDF (22551, 22845, 20931)
Surgeon A performs the diskectomy and the fusion with bone graft (22551, 20931), then he leaves. Surgeon B then comes in and places the anterior instrumentation (22845).
Surgeon A is reporting 22551 and 20931
Surgeon B: ?
22845 is an add-on code and cannot be reported by itself. How should surgeon B report this to the payer?
TIA!
