(PT services done) new to billing PT services
how often do you need to change the dx on the claims form. I bill for a NP and MD which they are doing PT services on a few patients. Each superbill I gets they write the dx's on it:
exampl.
patient Name=ABC ins= Medcare pt B first consult date= 11/17/11 Illness occurence date= 11/17/11 which will print in box=14) dx given = 723.1,724.1,724.2,729.1,784.0
first dos 11/17/11 CPT CODE 99203, 97530-GP,97012-GP,97032-GP AND DX= NECK PAIN,MID BACK PAIN, LOW BACK PAIN,MYALGIA .
2nd dos 11/22/11 CPT CODE 99212, 97530-GP,97026-GP AND DX= HEADACHES,SHOULDER PAIN, LOW BACK PAIN, (784.0,719.41,724.2,729.1)
3rd DOS 11/28/11 CPT CODE 99212,97530-GP, 97012-GP, 97026-GP AND DX= LEG PAIN,HIP PAIN, SIACTICA,NECK PAIN (719.46, 719.5,724.3,723.1)
Question:
WHEN BILLING DOS 11/28/11 Do I change the illness date to 11/28/11 and reflect the new dx codes in box 21 or is it okay to continue biling the initial dx given on the first dos?
4th dos 11/30/11 CPT CODE 99212, 94640 AND DX= ACUTE BRONCHITIS, COUGH, ACUTE SINUSITIS 9466.0,786.2,461.9)
Question:
Should I change the dx when this visit is totally different from PT visit.. like dos 11/30/11
Is it correct on this dos to change the illess date to 11/30/11 and the dx codes in box 21 and link dx accordingly.
