Good morning!
I am fairly new in the pain arena and was hoping to get some clarification on this issue. Does Medicare medical necessity have to be met each time a procedure is performed (ex. failed 3 months of conservative therapy, meds, PT) or is it appropriate when it is documented in their new patient visit? My co-worker and I are interpreting this a little differently as to what needs to be documented each time a procedure is performed. Thanks!
