I just started billing for a billing company that's starting from the ground up.
Our providers are pain management dr's and my question is on the superbills they list their diagnosis but do not list what's primary, secondary etc. My director seems to think that what order they go in is not important but I feel like it is to a degree but I can't prove this and I have run out of places to look.
I have always billed for Chiropractic offices so this is a learning experience for me. I know in our office if we billed a level 3 exam 99213 we had to also have enough dx codes to prove why that level of an exam was necessary.
I hope this isn't confusing but my brain is all over the place right now and I need just the general direction of where to look to find these answers.
