Laboratory codes
«

Does anybody know if Medicare pays for codes 87110 and 87081? We keep getting denied as 'this provider was not certified /eligible to be paid for procedure' eventhough we are billing them with a valid Clia #.
Thanks in advance for your help

Both are reimbursable codes. Have you called customer service to make sure the clia # was received on the claim or to inquire exactly what is wrong? That is what I would do.
