need help with repeat surgery

<< < (2/2)

kristin:
If the claim was originally submitted electronically, I would simply correct it, and resend it electronically. This is how my MAC wants it done.  See what happens, and come back and let us know. You can't submit it on paper, unless you have a waiver to submit claims on paper from Medicare.

Hi Kristin,
I looked at the seventh characters, since this wasn't an open fracture to begin with, I don't believe I can use H or J. And because the fracture shifted, with displacement of internal fixation devices, wouldn't I use character K (nonunion) or P( malunion)?
Thanks

dekenn:
Thank you so much for your help Kristin! I resubmitted the claim with the correct modifier and it processed and was paid. Thanks again! :)

kristin:
YAY! I love a happy ending!  ;D
