coding/budnled or two separate codes
Mike has surgery to excise a lesion found at his skull base. Dr. Morris, the surgeon, performs both the approach, procedureand the definitive procedure along with a straight forward repair of the skull would these procedures be reported using a bundled code or two separate codes? Would any modifier be necessary? Would the repair to the skull made on closure be reported with a separate code?
