Has anyone ever been paid for this procedure when billing it with another abdominal procedure? Our claims scrubber won’t even allow us to charge it when we charge another abdominal procedure.
However, my providers are frustrated that they can sometimes spend 2-5 hours on an extensive lysis of adhesions and not be paid for their extra work.
Yes, I’ve heard "just add a modifier 22 on it and provide documentation…" but seriously, has anyone ever received payment? And if so, from which insurance carriers?
