ANSWER

Page 20: May 2014 Medical Coding Q&A Webinar

How would we know if a procedure is bundled in with another procedure? I'm getting confused with the codes that have "separate procedure" at the end of them and I'm trying to figure out how could we tell if we need to use those or not? Any example would be very helpful :) -Margaret via LinkedIn
