I tried to bill 99442 to UHC and it was denied as non covered charge. Is there another way to bill for phone consults?

Thanks

Most insurance companies do not reimburse the use of Telephone Evaluation E/M codes. Most providers do not meet the documentation requirments for these services, so I would review the guidelines for these codes and make sure the provider has documented everything needed for the service. Chances are, the 99442 should not have been billed. AMA has made this a tricky service to bill for.
