Hi everyone,
I've got a bit of a dilemma. We bill nuclear stresses for one of our freestanding outpatient facilities. Physician group owns the equipment and supervises and reads their own tests. Because of a billing issue with a new software package, we are being instructed to bill 93016, 93017 and 93018 versus 93015. We are also being told we should bill 78465-26 and 78465-TC, etc., in order for the billing software to process our claims correctly. I am strongly opposed to this because it is raising my "unbundling" hackles. If anyone is billing in this manner, I'd like to hear from you. I'd also like confirmation that I am not just imagining this to be a significant problem.
Thanks!
