Can anyone tell me what codes you use for this procedure? We had been billing the enteroscopy codes, 44378 with a 22 modifier, per the suggestion of another Gastroenterology office in the area, but it doesn't look like Medicare is paying anything over the fee schedule price (it actually looks like they are paying below what they have listed as the reimbursement). I am sending the medical records.
I am wondering what other people are using for these codes and what does the reimbursement look like (I know it will differ around the country and it depends on what you have negotiated with the company) - if you are using the 22 modifier, is it bringing in additional reimbursement?
This procedure is starting to frustrate me - I have spent so much time researching this, trying to find out how to bill it and always getting a dead end!
Any help is appreciated!
