I visited an office recently and was observing the coding procedures. I am unsure of one procedure. What do you think?
93000 is for an ekg. Global charge. It is done in the office with the offices equipment, with the office employee.
For some reason Medicare is dening it. ( I did not review the EOB)
Anyways,
They are billing it this way
93010-26 professional component
93005-tc technical component
Medicare is paying this way. Instead of finding out why the global is not being paid they are billing the 2 seperate components.
Should this be billed this way? Is there a rule stating this is unbundling or unethical?
Thanks,
