Does anyone have any information on whether a PA can bill a Nasal Endoscopy 31238 for a Medicare patient? Ours are getting denied.

You may want to check your state laws. I am located in Florida and our MAC, First Coast does not have a problem with our Nurse Practitioner performing them. It is within the scope of their practice.
Again, This is for an ARNP not a PA,
What is your denial code on the MCR EOB?

31238 is "with control of nasal hemorrhage"
Can you bill for cautery, or packing the hemorrhage? I know the PA's at our hospital bill for one or the other.
30901-30905 might come into play here, maybe.
Check this article out. I personally like it as it has references and peer review.
