Hi there,
Occasionally I am asked to append 22 mod to surgical claims. The only way I've found to get additional compensation is by appealing after the claim has processed. I've tried to research a better way, but payers don't normally explain how best to submit supporting documentation ahead of time. Most experts just say " when submitting your claim, include a copy of the operative report " I've worked for 2 large ortho practices, and neither had the capability of electronically submitting an op note with a claim, so I don't know how to do that. Is appealing the best way or is there a better way of getting 22 reviewed?
