SECOND ASSISTANT
Payment rules:
When more than one assistant was required for a surgical procedure, unless the service is listed
below, the second assistant’s service is only eligible for payment following authorization by a medical
consultant and requires submission of a letter from the surgeon outlining the reason the second
assistant was required. The amount payable for the second assistant is calculated in the same
manner as the amount payable for the first assistant.
Services where a second assistant's services are payable and authorization is not required:
