Coding and Reimbursement Guide for PIP** (Proximal Interphalangeal) Joint Arthroplasty – 2020 Disclaimer: While Integra LifeSciences Corporation has used reasonable efforts to provide accurate coding information, this information should not be construed as providing clinical advice, dictating reimbursement policy, or substituting for the judgment of a practitioner. It is always the Provider’s responsibility to determine and submit appropriate codes, charges, and modifiers for services that are rendered. Integra LifeSciences Corporation assumes no responsibilities or liabilities for the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of the information contained herein. Since reimbursement laws, regulations, and payor policies change frequently, it is recommended that providers consult with their payors, coding specialists, and/or legal counsel regarding coverage, coding and payment issues. It is particularly important to consult with payors for services involving Humanitarian Use Devices (such as the Pyrocarbon PIP), as payors may have specific rules concerning such devices.
