Hello! The family practice I bill for does many of their labs in-house. For this particular claim, Medicare paid all labs except 80053 (CMP).
The dx codes are V77.99, V77.91 and 780.79
Denial reason: "Patient responsibility - These are non-covered services because this is routine exam or screening procedure done in conjunction with a routine exam."
This is my first time seeing this denial and am not sure how to fix it, if I can. Are there any issues with dx codes that were used? If not, I will submit the bill to the patient like the eob says to.
TIA!
