Anesthesia provided obstetrical care on 6/24, then provide a C-section on 6/25. Our coding team submitted a to Medicare for: 01967 QY P2, dos 6/24, and on the same claim submitted: 01968 QY P1, dos 6/25. Coding also submitted claim 01968 QX P2 (C-section) as a stand alone code. Medicare denied claim for: add on code can not be billed by itself. Am I missing something, or should our coding team know this guideline. How do we obtain payment for the C-section performed by the anesthesia QY and the QX? Any input is appreciated.
