Say after two-three years, if the patient still owes a balance(according to insurance's allowed charges) are we be able to still bill the patient? </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/have-question-on-billing-of-94620#post-10484 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:38:14 +0000 brenda hernandez 10484@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>I do billing for a provider that see's patient's in facility's he has been doing the 6 min walk stress test on some of the patients and im billing the <code>94620</code> which medicare keeps dening. ok so I get it now you can't use that code for if patient is in a facility so does anyone have any input on what code I should be billing I am at a loss.<br /> thanks for any imput<br /> brenda </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/skin-substitute-billing#post-10009 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:33:25 +0000 hazel joseph 10009@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>Should a doctor's office bill MEDICARE for the porcine xenograft material for wound coverage as 'C936'; in addition to the professional fee for placement (15271 for example) if it is not a ambulatory surgery center (or hospital).<br /> Thank you for any help you can provide! </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/lasix-injection-codes#post-9756 Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:39:46 +0000 Marita Quint 9756@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>What codes should i be using to bill for an IV med that the doctor administers.

The billing will be separate. I do the coding/billing for our interventional practice, and my doctor has asked me to find out if other doctors can bill for seeing the patients on the same date of service as the Nurse Practioner, or is the Nurse Practioner the only one who can bill for her services. All patients will be seen by the NP one at a time and then, as a group, taken to a conference room to hear various drs counsel them about their condition. How do we bill for this? Thank you! Maria L.

Whether its bilateral or not, say we do 2 20550's. Do I need to bill each on seperate line items with modifiers? Or do I put 1 on a line item and change the unit to 2?

I need to know if there is a modifier I need to use to show that the studies are purchased. He will be billing globally and paying the testing facilities for the studies.<br /> I am also having to clarify for another biller, but if there is documentation somewhere I would love to have. When billing the NCVs, she is just adding a 59 modifier to the 95900 when billing the 95903 for the same nerves. For example, if the tech tested 4 95900 and 4 95903, she is submitting 4 95900 with a 59 modifier and 4 95903. Since I have been billing on the 95903, the new doctor that I just started billing for is now upset because he is being paid less than the other girl who bills, but she's billing incorrectly. I printed off the CCI, but all it says is a modifier would be needed if billed together. Is there any detailed documentation that I can show this doctor and biller that they are not two differnt procedures?</p> <p>Thanks for your help.</p> <p>Julie Tollefson </p> http://www.supercoder.com/forum/topic/ncv-coding-and-purchasing-studies#post-2604 Mon, 03 Jan 2011 23:13:08 +0000 Julie Tollefson 2604@http://www.supercoder.com/forum/ <p>I bill for a neurologist that is going to start interpreting purchased diagnostic radiology studies.

We have patients who are seen for Achalasia/Cardiospasms, Gastroparesis, Eso-Strictures and such that the doctor feels Botox will be a great help for them.</p> <p>What is your experience with Medicare on that? Or any insurance for that type of treatment?</p> <p>I have never ever billed Botox in my 14 years of billing and was hoping for feedback?</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <p>Melanie Cramer, CMRS </p>
