Guest guest Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Why would Blue Cross even know that it's a resurfacing if the JRI is now using the THR code when they submit the request for coverage. The THR code specifies that both surfaces of the hip joint are being replaced, which is certainly the case with resurfacing. In fact, it's probably a more accurate description of the resurfacing procedure than it is of a THR. Check with Chuck about this.
