Good Morning,
I am billing the anesthesia charge for a patient that had an LRI(limbal relaxing incision) done for Post-operative astigmatism(this is the dx per the op report). Medicare has denied this stating that this service was performed for routine screening purposes. This was billed with diangosis code 367.20. Is there a different dx code that we should have used to bill with? Thanks!
