Medicare generally pays for multiple surgeries performed on the same day under its payment guidelines, but the reimbursement may vary based on the specific procedures. Typically, the primary surgery is paid at full price, while subsequent surgeries might receive a reduced payment, often based on the "multiple procedure discount rule." This means that the more complex or higher-paying surgery is fully reimbursed, while additional surgeries may be compensated at a lower percentage. It's important for healthcare providers to properly document and code the procedures to ensure appropriate reimbursement.
