I received the following in a personal message and I'm posting it in the public forum for additional responses:
"Hi, I need help please. I tried billing 82948 and 36415 and they both denied by medicare, do i need a modifier for these procedure or we just used a wrong cpt code for the procedure that was done.We used 82948 for patients that we check for blood glucose. Is these the right code that medicare pays? also for venipuncture? Appreciate your help.
Thanks"
We would need more information on what they were denied for. It's really hard to help without knowing. It may be something simple like not having the CLIA # on file. It may not be your coding. Please provide more details.
