Is pulse oximetry no longer reimbursed by Medicare? I was taught it is considered a 5th Vital sign. My private practice certified coder informed me of this in 2007.
Secondly, If pulse oximetry is billed with a URI or sinusitis ICD-9, is that a problem. Shouldn't it only be billed with a pulmonary code e.g.: Cough, Bronchitis or Asthma
