Hi I am new to pain managment billing/coding. The dr I work for has a patient with pain pump (interthecal) and my question is how do you figure out the proper units to bill
Example J3010 .1mg how do u convert from micrograms to milligrams?
I know that just 1 unit is only paid .70 by Medicare. The doctor pays for the meds out of pocket (100.00). I guess what I would like to know if there is anyone else in the State of Florida that works in Pain Management that could assist with the proper billing of this J code? According to the Florida Medicare MAC I just have to indicate how many units of the drug were used to get paid and no need to send them copy of invoice stating amount paid by the doctor.
Any help or send me in right direction. I am getting frustrated
