I have a note were the surgeon performed: CABG x1 reverse saphenous vein graft, transseptal mitral valve replacement with 27 mm pericardial valve using chordal-sparing technique, extended Maze procedure on bypass, and TEE. This is straight forward to me.
My question is in his documentation he examines the tricuspid valve and actually places a ring, after intraoperative testing, decides that the tricuspid insufficiency was moderate, and the ring was removed. He does an excellent job documenting this. Can I bill this?
Anyone's opinion is appreciated.
Thanks.
