Wiki G0479 Medicare drug testing

[sbarbour3]

Can someone help me with the Urine drug test- G0479? I keep getting denials as not medically necessary, I am using DX code F11.90. We have pain management patients and we monitor their opiate use.

That sounds more like it since the F code is for those abusing drugs not one who is prescribed drugs.
