We performed a scrotal ultrasound (76870) and UHC denied the claim stating another practitioner billed the same code on the same DOS.
The patient was seen by another provider in another practice, on the same date of service, and had the U/S (76870).
He was then referred to us and was seen the same day and we also performed the same U/S (76870).
Is this a valid denial? Is there a way we can get reimbursed for our provider performing the U/S?
