Robotic Surgical System Reimbursment

Date: Jul 11, 2019

Question:

I work for a Cardiovascular & Thoracic group and our surgeons frequently perform Robotic VATS procedures and wanted to know if there is a CPT/HCPCS code to capture the robotic portion of the service they provide. Unfortunately, S2900 is not reimbursed by any of our commercial carriers or by our Medicare contractor. Your feedback is much appreciated.
