Anyone think its annoying that our base units are reimbursed based on the reimbursement of the surgery itself? Like we get 13 units for a ACDF, but 4 units for a prone leg stab phlebectomy, or a prone back mass excision. 5 units for a BiV ICD in a guy with an EF of 10%. Do you think billing codes will ever change to fit the risk of the procedure vs just the surgical compensation?
