Regarding Alabama Medicare Podiatry code

By all means, post whatever questions you have, and I will answer them. I have been billing podiatry exclusively for 20 years, there isn't much I haven't seen in that time. I understand your concern that he be reimbursed for what he does, and want to help with that. Just understand that while he may perform a service, that doesn't guarantee he will be paid for it. I see this all the time, with the podiatrists I bill for. It all depends on what each insurance company feels is medically necessary. Knowing the LCD's/NCD's/medical policy for each insurance company he is contracted with is very important.

As for the EMR listing the 11721 first...the EMR's I deal with let the doctor enter charges in any order they want to. It is up to to the biller in the PM side to order the charges correctly.
