In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Dr. Ray Painter provide an important update on the evolving C9761 reimbursement landscape, including CMS’s decision to revise the code description and introduce a new HCPCS code for suction-enabled ureteral access sheaths. The discussion explores what these changes could mean for ASCs, HOPDs, and physicians involved in stone management. The team also answers listener questions about billing intraoperative consultations versus procedures and addresses payer denials related to place-of-service restrictions when procedures are performed in the office setting. The key takeaway: understanding documentation requirements, reimbursement rules, and site-of-service limitations is essential as coding and payment policies continue to evolve.
