Hello Everyone:
Was hoping someone can help with this issue.
Patient had a 37211, 36247-51 and 75710-26-59 on 4/5. On the same day while patient was in recovery the catheter were abruptly pulled and retracted out. The sheath and the catheter were still inside her body, but I recommended urgently taken her back to reposition the catheter. 37213-58-RT was billed with DOS 4/5 and Medicare denied "This procedure or procedure/modifier combination is not compatible with another procedure or procedure/modifier combination provided on the same day.
Should I do a reconsideration stating this was a return to the OR or should I select a different code?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
