I had heard rumors about people getting ADR paid for under the fusion cpt codes. some I thought were before proper ADR codes were created but some may be after and that would likely be fraud.
Did you have fusion 1st or the ADR first? If you had fusion first...are they not paying for the entire surgery and then you pay for the entire and separate ADR surgery? When you say separate I understand that to mean 2 different hospital stays and 2 separate discharges. just trying to clarify.
