In an ASC facility, the surgeon has an assistant surgeon and an anesthesiologist.
The main procedure is a mass excision (42440)
The surgeon also had the assistant surgeon preform facial nerve monitoring.
To code for for an ASC facility : would i use 4244, 95868-TC? and how would i know when to add 95940?
Or is the nerve monitoring included in the main procedure?
I even thought about 92516-TC but i think that's more of a diagnostic test than a monitor test.
Help please!
And which procedures would I add the assistant surgeon modifier to? Just the nerve monitor or the main procedure as well?
My brain is starting to go in circles, Thank you.
