Hello Everyone,
One of the physicians that I bill for sees several diabetic patients. She uses the G0246 and it gets denied saying not paid seperately. I told her it was for sensory or periphyl nerve loss, LOPS. If the patient has no nerve loss, she still wants it billed out even though it gets denied and her reason is because she has to document that she treated the patient for their diabeties as a CAQH requirement. She said if she doesn't she is considered a bad Dr. with CAQH. I have never heard of this, but I haven't really done any research on CAQH. She said she has to follow up with the patient every three months, so she charges for this every three months when the patient comes in. Of course this doesn't help the AR's any. Would someone please shed some light on this. I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Brenda
