I work for an ortho clinic and we're getting a lot of denials this year for 72020 bundling with 72120. When I put it into CodeCorrect, it doesn't bundle. Our providers often do them both for lumbar, but 72120 is for bending views and 72020 is for AP view. The only reason I can think of why some payers now deny are the 2017 NCCI updates regarding billing a full spinal x-ray along with 72020 or 72120, but that isn't the case here. My other thought would be maybe they are supposed to be adding them up and coding as 72100 or 72110? Anyone else have issues with this? Medicare hasn't denied it, but we have denials with UHC, BCBS, Humana and more.
Thanks!
