Wiki Critical Acces Rev Code ?

[alopiccolo]

Hello!

I have a Critical Access hospital (bill type 851) billing a rev code of 450, with 99283. Is this correct, or should it be rev code 981? Or something different?

The claim is denying based upon the rev code that was billed in conjunction with the 851 bill type.

Does anyone have any documentation of correct coding for Critical Access Hosiptals?

Please advise.

Revenue codes 450 must be billed with one of the following, if not the claim should deny.
CPT code 99281 = Level 1
CPT codes 99282 & 99283 = Level 2
CPT codes 99284, 99285, 99291 & 99292 = Level 3
