Claim denied with PR 172
« on: July 13, 2018, 12:51:01 PM »
Billing Question!

We keep getting denials on the claims from Medicare Michigan which are billed with CPT code 99358 (Prolonged E&M service) with denial reason as PR-172 (Payment is adjusted when performed/billed by a provider of this specialty). Provider is a Ph.D (Clinical Psychologist). I have no clue to get them paid. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

kristin

Is that code within the scope of practice for your provider? If so, you need to appeal using the guidelines set out by your MAC.
