Does anyone have any information on billing a Prostate Health Index (PHI) 84153, 84154 and 86316. We are billing all three codes with diagnosis R97.20. Medicare pays the 84153 and 84154 but not the 86316. They are denying it as not medically necessary. Can the 86316 only be billed with bladder/urinary symptoms??
 
Its not covered for those that are asymptomatic. H[FONT=&quot]ematuria & neoplasms, everything else not covered by medicare
