C9780 Surfacer
Date: Nov 17, 2023
Question:
My facility is working on building a charge for C9780 from the Surfacer System. It appears that for the Inside-Out approach, they are recommending a combination of 36010, 75825, 75827, and 76937 to capture the entire procedure portion of the service for non-medicare payors. Our concern is that the charge amount of C9780 vs. the other four will result in overcharging our commercial payors. Can you please advise if those four codes would be the equivalent of C9780?
