To my understanding in Work Comp billing, we can bill new patient E & M codes each time a patient comes in for a new injury. This is even though we have seen them within 3 years. Lately we have been getting denials from one of the WC carriers. They want an established code used.
I was wondering if any of you have ran into that issue lately and how you handle it. We don't want to down code if we don't have to.
I am in Indiana where we have no strict guidelines set up by the WC Board.
Any advice?
Thanks
