CCastc001 replied to the thread G0444 denial.My understanding is that you CAN'T bill a G2211 with an AWV, initial or subsequent. You can't bill a G0444 with a G0438. You CAN bill it with a G0439. You DON'T need a modifier on G0444 unless you are billing a separate screening like G0442; then...

Which makes sense. But I keep...

As stated above, 76817 does not have any documentation requirements in terms of limited, complete, etc. so if only the heartbeat was being checked and...

Jjifnif replied to the thread 21337 and 21320.It is my understanding that the CPT follows the fracture treated and not the instrument. For example, if you have a septal fracture and nasal bone fracture. Maybe the forceps straighten the septum (21337) while the Boise elevator reduce nasal...

MWe are doing MBB on T11-T12 and T12-L1. UMR is denying the second level as PI-B10 (Allowed amount has been reduced because a component of the basic procedure/test was paid.), and only paying 64490 for second level. We are billing this for an ASC...

MDepends on the documentation. However, you would have to follow ICD-10 guidelines. It wouldn't be correct to use Z00.00. That's not why they were there and it is not explaining the visit. Why wouldn't it be more like Z03.89 + Z87.09 area? It is...
