I don't have a ton of experience with billing Managed Care Plans that we are out of network for so when we received a denial from a small carrier for being OON, I billed the patient. The carrier then contacted me to advise that since we did not have the patient sign a waiver that we could not bill her for the services. Can someone help me understand how this works? We billed the carrier 99213, 71020, 96372 and J1100(10). Are we obligated to have a patient sign a waiver for a simple office visit? I thought that only applied to procedures listed in the HCPCS Addendums? Also, do waivers apply to managed care companies like Aetna, Humana and other companies that administer Medicare benefits? I thought ABN's were necessary for Medicare only.
Please help!
