Hi, All,
I could really use some assistance with this. We have a new physician who did an intra-articular hip steroid injection under fluoroscopy. He used 1ml of Omnipaque with a notation the "concentration was 240." It looks like I can bill this, but I'm not sure how. HCPCS shows this is billed per ml. I see this code has an MUE of 250 and a Medicare allowable of $0.34. So, if I bill this out per ml, that would be 1 unit which would allow $0.34. Why is there an MUE of 250 if I can only bill one ml. How should I appropriately bill this?
