Wiki G0439 denied as charged too soon - bill patient?

[tlwhlw]

I have received denials for G0439 being charged out too soon. The provider wants the charges billed to the patient. I have searched Noridian Medicare website for any info regarding this and not finding anything. Any advise for this? I'm pretty sure the patients are going to be very upset if they get a bill for this, as they are aware Medicare covers this visit, if it's completed correctly. If you have something in "black and white" that I can show the provider that would be helpful! Thank you!

I entered this in the wrong forum section...my apologies. Have entered into the Medicare Regulation thread now....
