This issue requires me to ask you some questions as the answer is predicated on having all the facts.
Was this surgery patient's infection you asked directly involving the superficial infection in the surgery incision? It matters when it comes to Medicare, but you did not say who the insurance was for this issue.

3. What insurance plan specifically did the patient have?
