Is this correct? </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/cpt-code-99090#post-937 Wed, 02 Jun 2010 20:39:13 +0000 Nancy Smith 937@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>Help I am a little confused. Information that I am finding is telling me I can bill for this code, but there is no reimbursement for it. The information states that if the physician is not meeting with the patient then the physician can bill CPT code 99090, but why would he if he will not get reimbursed? Thanks for your help. </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/critical-care-consult-and-floor-consult#post-431 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 21:42:21 +0000 Bhailal Gondalia 431@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>which code replace '99254' and '99255'?

Whenever we bill this cpt code with 96401, 94640 &amp; J2357 we get a denial as inclusive even though the CCI edits show no bundling.
