maybe someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but when ADR was first out of trials...some surgeons were using fusion codes and performing ADR. Then there was a temporary code for ADR which is the 0092T
I just found what you need to know re effective dates of billing codes per CMS/Medicare see: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/Transmittals/...ds/R1164CP.pdf
People before you have had conflicts in coding problems see http://adrsupport.org/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7701036081/m/1...611067081#3611067081
