I bill for a Family Practice. I have recently been having issues getting payment for office visit 99213/14 along with ear lavage 69210. Some insurances have stated that it's global and only pay the ear lavage and not the office visit or vice versa. In the past, I've never had issues with this. Seems to be more recent with commercial and Medicare advantage plans.
And example of a recent claim was:
DX H61.23 Bilateral impacted cerumen
CPT: 99213- 25
69210
The ear lavage was paid, but the office visit was not even with the modifier 25.
Any insight as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.
I have called insurances about it and they all seem to have a different response.
Thanks
