So I work in a family practice outpatient clinic, and have had some claims denied by Medicare for doing multiple pulse oximetry readings during a basic e/m visit, I have called medicare about this constant denial and apparently their reasoning is that there is a J-code needed to report with this code. I don't see that listed anywhere in the code description, can anyone shed some light on this for me? all of the patients we do this for have COPD. Just need to know if I'm missing something or if there is information out there that I haven't found yet about getting reimbursed for 94761. Any help is appreciated, thanks! :confused:

I have found some older info that possibly using 94620 instead might work better? This code is kind of a grey area for me
