2019 Allowed Procedures for Assistant Surgeon and Assistant at Surgery Providers
Louisiana Medicaid has published the 2019 fee for service list of allowed procedures for assistant surgeon and assistant at surgery providers. The list titled,
“2019 Assistant Surgeon and Assistant at Surgery List of Covered Procedures” has been posted to the LA Medicaid website
(www.lamedicaid.com) under the ClaimCheck icon.
The changes are based on updates made by the Change Healthcare to their ‘ClaimCheck’ product. Change Healthcare uses the American College of Surgeons as its primary source for determining assistant surgery designations.
This list does not ensure payment but provides a comprehensive list of codes that may be allowed when billed by an assistant surgeon or by an assistant at surgery.
For questions related to this information as it pertains to fee-for-service Medicaid claims processing, please contact DXC Technology Provider Services at (800) 473-2783 or (225) 924-5040.
Please contact the appropriate Managed Care Organization with any questions concerning their 2019 HCPCS updates.
