Wiki Medicare reimbursement for e-stem (g0283)

[lbporter]

I am having trouble getting Medicare to reimburse the G0283 code for E-stem performed in the Chiropractic setting. Does it only cover it with certain diagnosis codes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Medicare benefit is manual manipulation for subluxation of the spine so I don't think you can bill any modalities.

I am unfamiliar with Chiropractic coding so I am not sure of specific specialty requirements. That being said, I bill for this code to Medicare (& other Medicare plans) when performed by a physical therapist & we append a modifier GP.
I suggest maybe verifying if there are modifier requirements for your specialty when billing this code.
