Hello-
For Telehealth claims, when the secondary payer requires a different POS type than the primary payer (ex: Medicare wants typical POS (11, 22, etc) and BCBS wants POS 02)...is it fraudulent to change the POS type to what the 2ndry plan requires on the 2ndry claim? I think it is, but I can't find any documentation to support that it is or isn't...especially now with the flexed guidelines for COVID claims. We have been writing off the balance left for the 2ndry when the POS type doesn't match the primary's requirements, but questions are being raised if it's allowable to update the POS type.
So, if patients have Medicare primary and VA BCBS 2ndry and we billed 99212/95 with POS 11 to Medicare, is it fraudulent to change the POS type to 02 on the Anthem secondary claim?
