SCS multiple procedure reduction
Hello:
I’m in a hospital employed wRVU-based compensation model. I’ve been reviewing my coding and the system is applying a 50% reduction in wRVU to 63685 when doing an SCS implant.
My understanding was that 63650x2 and 63685 are submitted without a -51 modifier. Do any know if Medicare/payers are subjecting the 63685 payment to a multiple procedures reduction?
Thanks
