Since the update of the ICD 10 in October 2019 Medicare had denied the code G0250 for Afib. code I48.20. This was covered before October with I48.2. I cannot find any NEW guidelines for this procedure code with updated coverable diagnosis listed. Does anyone know if Medicare has posted any updates to this procedure code? If so, where can I find them?
Thank you in advance.
 
Please let me know if you have a response to this as G0250 stopped paying in Oct 2019 for our office as well and we are billing dx I48.20. thanks, I will let you know if I find out anything as well
 
I have been told that as of Oct 2019 dx code I48.20 is no longer payable. You can find this on the CMS manual publication 100-20, table number 11491.7. We also received denials for dx code I48.21 even though it is on the list as payable. I was told to look at the same publication where they will not actually implement the added ICD-10 codes until April 6, 2020. Since this is an error edit in their system I will have to refile the claims in April 2020 and they will pay for claims Oct 2019- April 2020. Hope this helps.
