Wiki Medicare Medicaid Dual Coverage and Birth Control

[Tracy-Wuest@ouhsc.edu]

Can someone help me with the billing for IUDs for patients that have Medicare primary and Medicaid secondary. When Medicare denies, Medicaid is denying as non-covered but it's supposed to be a covered service under Medicaid. Our billing office is then turning those denied charges to the patient. We're talking about $1500 bills. Any tips on getting these paid would be appreciated.
