I live in PA and the policy for 88342 that just became active is insane. We have been getting denied for all the 88342's we bill. The policy is called
LCD L30538 - Cytogenetic Analysis, and our 88342 are not being done for cytogenetic analysis but this doesn't seem to matter at all. We had to file over 40 appeals in the last week. If you call you just get a big run around. Even when the dx does happen to be on the policy it still is denying, I am hoping that this policy has this cpt on it in error. ( it also has 88365 and 88368) Has anyone else been having problems. We have highmark medicare here in Pennsylvania.
