I often have an argument with my provider about the codes. For example, she wants to bill CPT 96402 for humira injection with Office visit and I disagree.
I explained that this code is for the IV injection and give her the description of the code, but she still insists.
Most of time I just follow provider's direction and wait for the denial.
Sometimes the claim gets paid as is (with a wrong code) and she feels that she was correct.
I'm sure you all have this type of disagreement and I would like to know how you deal with the situation.
What do you do when you can't make them understand to the correct code?
Also what could be the consequences for me if we are audited?
