I have a similar situation, just wondering if you ever got an answer to this.
Thanks!

FYI if anyone is having the same issue.. I was never able to find formal info on this but I have been billing as 64772 x2 units w/64772-XU x2 units to all payers. On the original submission insurances are either paying only the first 2 units or denying all units but all 4 units are being paid on appeal by all payers I've billed so far including BCBSM/BCN/Priority Health/Priority Health Medicare/Medicare.
