We are billing out the 85060 at our practice when doctors go down to the lab and look at blood smear slides and they write reports accordingly.

85060- Blood smear, peripheral , interpretation by physician with written report.

Medicare is denying this because this can ONLY be done if the patient is inpatient.

They state that if we are not billing as an inpatient we have ZERO grounds to appeal.

Is there any other code that fits this physicians service?

Has anyone else had this problem?
