We received notification from a client via the american society of echocardiolgraphy newsletter for May 09 that states the NCCI edits that prohibited reporting 93320 with 93325 which became effective 1/1/09 wer erroneous and were removed 4/1/09 for studies done in physicians office!
Claims that were denied 4/1 and prior can now be resubmitted?!?!?
ALso, the NCCI edits prohibiting 93320 and 93325 in hospital setting will be removed on 7/1/09 and is retro to Jan 1st.
So, does this mean that we can go back and bill the usual 93307, 93320 and 93325 instead of the 93306? The AMA code book states you can not bill these three codes together.
Any and all comments much appreciated!
