We are seeing an increase in denials of the revascularization procedures (37220-37235) after a records review by Optum stating that the procedure is not supported in the document. The dictation of the procedure is detailed and clear so it is confusing why it is being denied. We file a reconsideration with the codes itemized and underlined on the dictation with a supporting letter and any additional records needed. The reconsiderations are even being denied. Is anyone else having this issue? We have not heard or seen any changes needed in documentation for these procedures in any of our resources. Any suggestions are welcome.
