I billed 43775 to Medicare DOS 1/30/13 and received a denial stating these are non covered service because it's not deem a medical necessity by payer. When I called Medicare for a further explanation of the denial I was referred to the Medicare National Coverage Determination Manual Chapter 1, Section 100.1 which doesn't make since to me. The manual states it's a stand alone code, does that mean you can only bill 43775 alone? The claim was billed according to the guidelines. I was wondering if anyone knows why Medicare is still denying this code. Also if anyone has received payment for this code if so how did you get it paid.
Thanks in advance for your help.
