APP Assisting with MAZE During CABG
Date: Feb 15, 2023
Question:
If one APP assists with the harvest and CABG and a second APP assists with the MAZE procedure can the second APP also code with AS modifier? If so since the MAZE CPT code 33259 is an add-on code, should they also code the CABG codes since they assisted with the MAZE procedure?
