Thank you for your service as I'm a little guy BC/BS provider and confused by the insurance muck.
I have software that generates a CMS-1500 for me. In box 24F should that be the charge per unit or the total charges for that procedure? My software puts it in as the charge per unit, then multiplies it by the number of units in box 24G to arrive at the total to put into Box 28.
For example my unit charge is $30/15 minutes (BC/BS pays in units of 15 minutes up to 1 hour for my counseling). I see people for 1 hour so it is 4 units. The software puts a $30.00 in ox 24F and a 4 in box 24G, then a total of $120 in box 28.
BC/BS says (depending on who I talk with) that it should be $120 in box 24F not $30.
Can you please clarify.
Thank you kindly,
