    Wiki job enquiry

    Just saw another thread where 2 other people posted the same offer and they mentioned it being a scam. One person noted that they would be sending payment for them to purchase equipment (huge huge red flag), they will end up saying the equipment check was too much and that the overage needs...

    You should have your results by now. When you log into AAPC, you cant see your results at all ? Go under purchases, exam and you should be able to see your results.

    Are you billing any modifiers for the EMG 95886 , or quantities (if more than one extremity) ?

    Wiki Level of service?

    I don't see why you would not be able to bill a hospital visit E/M, if the documentation supports it.

    Wiki Level of service?

    The consult would still need to be requested by an appropriate source and requires a written report of the findings and recommendations back to the referring.

    Are you saying the physician interaction with the patient doesn't even meet a straight-forward level of MDM or at least 35 minutes ?

    Wiki BCBSNC MA HMO PPO MEDICARE AWV CLAIM DENIAL

    You should be using either Z00.00 or Z00.01 if the services you are providing meet the requirements for billing for an annual wellness visit. You are billing a "problem" oriented diagnosis with a wellness service. If the provider addressed a problem, and the documentation supports its, you can...

    Wiki 92201 and E/m visits billed together allowed?

    An office visit has to be significant enough to warrant a charge. I always been taught to highlight everything that pertains to the 92201/02, if there were other things discussed and addressed, a separate E/M could be appropriate

    Wiki Critical Care Denials

    CPT and Medicare have different rules for reporting Critical care code 99292 for CY 2023. MC requires the full 30 minute block of 99292 to be reached before billing it. Also, I believe that the billing of 2 providers in the scenario you mentioned, is payer specific. I know my insurance company...

    Wiki CPT code for "Attempt to remove internal scar tissue from previous neck surgery"

    In my experience, submitting a surgery with modifier 52, will reduce the allowed amount by 25%, and a discontinued procedure modifier 53 would reduce the amount by 50%. I would probably not submit either of these on this surgical code based on the information you provided above, it just seems...
