Hard to tell without more info, but usually surgical trays and supplies are considered included with the other services.

I have used both of these codes successfully, also billing for an outpatient facility.  You will need to send a list of the supplies you are including in this code to the insurance company with a letter of explanation.  Not all will reimburse the code--even with the list and letter--but many will.
