diagnostic procedures

[TWilliam2019]

When billing for Medicare for the PC of a diagnostic procedure what d.o.s should be used?
ex: date of TC? date of dictation? or something else?

 

[Cyndi113]

We use the same date.

diagnostic procedure

which date do you use the day it is done with the TC?
or
The day it was interpredated? which is usually a couple of days later

 

[Hillik0473]

Use the date the test was performed on, not the interpretation date.

Do you have or know a reference from CMS or your Medicare Carrier (ours is Palmetto GBA) where they specify the date to use?
