Does anyone have experience in billing G0127 for trimming of dystrophic nails?
I have Medicare patients w/dx of 250.60, 110.1, 700
11055/11056 removal callus(es)
11720/11721 debridement of fungal nail(s)
G0127 trimming of dystrophic nails
Example of coding used:
11056-59-Q8
11720-59-Q8
G0127-Q8
We were told by our local MAC that 11721 wasn't payable w/G0127, only the 11720. But we still have some that are getting kicked out as G0127 non-covered. I was always taught to put the -59 modifier on the more "expensive" charges so that's why their on the 11056 & 11720. Does the "Q" code not go on the G0127 code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!
