Billing for loupes
Does anyone know if you can code for a doctor using loupes during a case? I was told to bill for the microscope by one person and that I couldn't code it that way by another. I am lost!

Don't be lost
Doctors are looking for every way to get more income and rumors like this start when one doc submits a bill and it gets paid. Using loupes is not separately billable, it is not a microscope. You can bill for it but I'd reserve the money and more to pay out the refund and the penalty for Medicare fraud.
