Wiki ICD program/fu E&M

[jewlz0879]

I'm not as familiar with device cks, programming ect and need some help, please.

2/8/11 we billed
99214, 25 427.31, 425.4
93283, 26 427.31, 425.4
They only paid for the OV.

05/03/11 we billed
99214 (no 25) 401.9
93823, 26 401.9
They only paid for the 93283

I didn't see a limit on billing the 93283 code for example: once every 90 days/30 days. I did notice however, the 99214 and 93283 were billed with the same dx codes. A -59 doesn't seem like it would be the answer either since we billed with 25. Should we ensure that the ov is strictly for another problem and only bill the 93283?

Pt has Medicare.

Any input is appreciated! Thanks

Hello.

I find that Medicare (Palmetto) pays for E/M without 25 modifier when I use only the appropriate V code V45.01 for the device check.

Thanks, Priscilla

if its an ICD check the v code to bill it with would be v45.02. Its its a pc check then it will be v45.01..
