Has anyone been having issues with Medicare Advantage plans denying payment of 95115 and 95117 when billed with the venom DX "T" codes? CMS guidelines were updated the end of October and the only updated guidance I can find is regarding immunotherapy is related to non-venom allergy immunotherapy. It used to be that you would bill the 95145 - 95149 for the preparation of venoms and then the 95115 or 95117 for the administration of the injection or multiple injections. Aetna Medicare and UHC Medicare plans are justifying non-payment of the administration codes because CMS guidelines no longer list any of the venom codes, neither the CPT nor ICD-10 codes. Has anyone found a work-around for this issue? We are also having issues with UHC denying payment of allergy serum.
