Hello,
I am currently billing for a pediatrics office and the doctor bills out for codes 97802 (medical nutrition therapy), 83655 (lead testing), 36416 (collection of capillary blood specimen, using a finger stick) and 92587 (hearing test), along with the OV E/M code. But mostly none of the claims are being reimbursed, sometimes they get paid but most of the time they are not. Is there a modifier to be used such as a 59 or 24? Is anyone else billing this in their practice?
Thanks in advance.
