Wiki Medicare Denial for 63048

Medicare has been denying 63048 when this is billed:

63047
63048

Denial states 63048 requires qualifying procedure. Has anyone else had this problem with Medicare? Is there a glitch?

Thanks,

Maybe they just want the op report

Maybe they just want the op report to verify.

We get this a lot with skin grafts on children (15100 and 15101 for example) where the unit is each 1% of TBSA. One young patient recently got grafts over 14% of body so we had 15100 and 15101 (x 13)!

Once we sent the op report to verify the extensive nature of the grafts we were paid.

Hope that helps.
