Question:
We have a surgeon who performed an ORIF of an open tibia fracture and placed bone filler allograft in an area where the surgeon felt there was a small bone void. Is this work considered bundled or not? Neither the surgeon or I think it is billable but thought we should check with our KZA team. Thanks for all you do!
Answer:
You are correct! This work is inclusive and not separately reportable.
