WE've had minimal success with the carriers, some pay, some don't Surprinsingly some of the smaller insurance companies will pay. Your denials were probably deemed "bundling issues", correct? The Reimbursement we received was anywhere from $10.00 to $38.00, and usually I had to fight my way on appeals with those larger payers that said they would reimburse for the code. As a very wise coder once said, the amount of time,resources used to follow thru on follow-up and appeals is really not worth it. That being said, if your doctor has a practice which necessities the use of these codes, I would suggest that you negotiate in your payer contracts to have it included. MCR WILL NOT pay for this code.
BTW, I've spent a lot of time researching 99058.
