more than 1 assist during CABG
Date: Jan 30, 2024
Question:
In regards to question # 18403: If one APP assists with the harvest and CABG and a second CT surgeon assists with the MAZE procedure, how does the CT surgeon get to code 33259-80 without also coding the parent code 33533? How should this be broken down? APP get 33533AS 33518AS 33508AS -xu--How do you code for the 2nd CT surgeon helping out with MAZE? you cant code 33259 w/o a parent code...which would be 33533, but he didn't assist with that..........
