<p>[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3281502"]Couldn't the surgeon say: "retroperitoneal approach to the intervertebral space?" While this would be incomplete, it would be accurate. A more accurate and complete statement might be: "transpsoas, retroperitoneal approach to the intervertebral space." The first one probably isn't fraud, but attorney's might argue that the intent is to fool the insurer, and that makes it fraud. This situation will surely bring-up some ethical issues. It really comes down to what a surgeon believes they can defend legally, weighed against what is best for the patient. There are lot's of ways to spin this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
