Using code 15777 for a biologic implant for soft tissue reinforcement in conjunction with the code for the primary procedure is true, provided that 15777 is classified as an add-on code designed for such use in medical billing.
The question pertains to the use of procedural coding in medical billing, particularly relating to the use of code 15777 for a biologic implant for soft tissue reinforcement. In medical coding, the correctness of using an adjunct code like 15777 inherently depends on the guidelines provided by the coding system being used, such as the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set. If 15777 is an add-on code designed to be reported in conjunction with the primary surgical procedure, then using it alongside the primary procedure code would be appropriate.
It's true that code 15777 is used with the primary procedure. It is designed as an add-on code to report the implantation of a biologic implant for soft tissue reinforcement that is not already included in the primary procedure code.
