I've received a denial from Medicaid for billing 99211 and 86318. The patient was seen by a medical assistant for a rapid strep test. Medicaid is telling me that billing these together is unbundling. I thought that the 86318 was for the test only, and that the 99211 was for administering it. If you can please include some references to go with your responses - I need to get info for a hearing request.
Thanks!
Thanks!
