: 2 surgeries, 2 surgeons, 1 day
: trisha426 December 02, 2020, 06:29:11 PM
This is the first time I have ran into this. We have a patient which is having a skin cancer removed by 1 surgeon, and then directly after will have a carpal tunnel done by a hand surgeon within our ambulatory surgery center. Can someone give me guidance on how to properly bill the doctors charges and also how would I bill for the ASC (1 claim with all CPTs or 2 claims dividing the procedures?).

Wow, two surgeries but one day?  I have not encountered that either.  If the doctors/surgeons are billing under different billing information (EIN/Tax ID, NPIs, etc) there shouldn't be a problem.  As for the ASC, that is trickier.  I believe I would do it as two separate claims.
