Hello,
I am currently billing for a pediatrics office and the doctor bills out for codes 97802 (medical nutrition therapy), 83655 (lead testing), 36416 (collection of capillary blood specimen, using a finger stick) and 92587 (hearing test), along with the OV E/M code. But mostly none of the claims are being reimbursed, sometimes they get paid but most of the time they are not. So recently I started putting a mod 59 to the hearing test and med nutrition and got a taxonomy denied note, but when I didn't have the mod 59 the denied note stated that this is an unbundled procedure. How can our practice get reimbursed for the procures that are being done? Is anyone else billing this in their practice?
Thanks in advance
