Wiki Hi Coders - I just wanted to know

[shenell333@yahoo.com]

I just wanted to know if anyone has been paid for cpt code 61781 when billed with 61510.
Medicare denies it stating 61510 is not the primary code for 61781. If anyone know any additional information on 61718 usage please let me know.


I filed appeal and received payment on code 61781
