Good Day Group:
Recently our MAC Cahaba has denied routine labs like A1c 83036 when billed with the Z00.00 diagnosis. This is not unusual but the EOB used to assign these charges to the patient liability. Now our EOBs are showing provider liability. We are appealing these attaching Medicare's own standard policy that routine labs are the patient liability but has anyone heard anything about why this might be happening and any work around? - I found no help on the Cahaba site.
Thank you for your feedback and have a great day!!
