Hi to all. I've been trtying to get the best possible answer to my question but it only shows on how Medicare Reimburse Travel expenses using the P9603 and P9604. This coding part is new to my ear, It's my 1st time to code for laboratory and travel expenses. Is travel expense reimburseable for commercial insurances. If yes what's the code to use . And where can i get detailed or more info about cpt codes to use for travel expenses Any help will be appreciated.. thank you

Hi,
Medicare will pay for CPT P9603 & P9604 based on either mileage based (CPT P9603 minimum on $1.00 per mile) or trip based (CPT P9604 minimum of $10.00 per trip) .
Commercial insurance does not pay for CPT P9603 & P9604 as per health plan policy when reported with an E/M visit code.

Hope this helps.
