I'm showing that 782.19 is not a valid dx.  Other than that, based on what you have described it appears that you are billing it correctly.  Which procedure are they denying, the 11402?

Was that with the 51 modifier?  If not, then I would definitely put the 51 modifier.  If it had the 51 I'm surprised they denied it.
