Billing Medi-Cal
(1/1)
billspecial:
Is there something I'm missing? When I bill an office visit 99213 and a lab 81000 Medi-Cal will only pay the office visit and deny the lab as only one exam covered on the same day. If I bill an EKG 93000 they will pay the EKG and not the office visit with the same denial reason. Should I just bill the office visit and not bill the lab or prepare to write off the lab charge or whatever charge they won't pay? Thank you in advance.
Michele:
I am not familiar with Medi-Cal specifically, but I know that other Medicaid programs do the same thing. They don't allow office visits and EKG's to be billed together, they bundle them. They also never pay the labs either. I have not found anything that can be done about it. I'm hoping someone else on the forum may have some secret they can share. :)
