I have never encountered this one before.
Medicare denied payment to my doctor who saw a patient as a followup in the hospital - code 99233
The reason B9 is "Patient Enrolled In A Hospice"
The Remark Code accompanying the rejection was N90
N90 - "Service covered only when performed by the Attending Physician"
In this case, my doctor was covering for the Attending Physician.
Is there any way to get this paid? I do not think it can be billed to the patient.
