I am hoping someone can clarify this for me. What does "Concept does not apply" under Assistant at Surgery payment indicator mean? They can be paid? They can’t be paid? I can’t find anywhere that states what those 4 words mean. My physician is stating if the concept doesn’t apply then our assistant should be paid. I say if the concept doesn’t apply then no payment. I hope someone can direct me to formal information I can present to my doctor either way.

Thank you in advance for your help. I am pulling my hair out at this point.
