Wiki MRI Abd VS MRCP

[ABI]

A payer auth MRCP(S8037), but we coded the report using Mri Abd code, can we change it to S8037 so we get paid? We're outpt facility.

not unless thats is what was actually performed. NEVER CODE FOR PAYMENT!!!!

 

[ABI]

MRCP was done but we never used the code S8037 because medicare does not accept it, we've always used MRI abd code. So, I think with other payers, we can use S8037.
