Wiki SOAPP/COMM

[brocal1979]

I work for a Pain Management doctor & have a wondering what CPT should I use for SOAPP/COMM, CESD-R, PMQ-R, CPCOG? The office has been using G0444, 96136, & G0396, but I am having problems getting these codes paid. I have tried to research these codes to see if there are better CPT codes but cannot find anything. I am new to the pain management world, so these codes are foreign to me. Any help would be appreciated!

Also Z dx codes can vary Z13.828 encounter for muscles & bones Also use modifiers of left, right and 50 if both sides. Add J code for meds and mg. amount on claim. If due to injury use dx S and Y dx codes plus episode of care and date of injury on claim. If referred from another doctor or provider add on claim too.
