Hello all! This is my first post so please be gentle . I received an EOB for 2 medicare patients with co151 denial code. I am well versed on medicare visit limits and we are sure to stay within those guidelines so I am perplexed as to why they denied. On the first patient, who has had 11 visits we billed codes 98940 AT, G8730 & G8942, one dos. The second patient has had 12 visits with one set of dx's and 4 visits under a second set of dx's. Both containing sciatica. Any help is appreciated!

Are you familiar with the LCD for 98940? That is helpful in determining if the dx codes on the claim support the number of visits. Since I don't know the dx codes it's hard to be very helpful. Also, I'm assuming initial treatment dates are entered correctly? For example, if a patient has a change of dx codes the initial treatment date would change to the date of the change of dx.
HOpe that helps!
