I have billed Medicare for 36415. When I do, I get the following. Can someone help me understand what they are telling me please?
CO-16: Claim/service lacks information which is needed for adjudication. Additional information is supplied using remittance advice remarks codes whenever appropriate.
N211: Alert: you may not appear this decision.
N264: Missing/incomplete/invalid ordering provider name.
N284: Missing/incomplete/invalid referring provider taxonomy
N285: Missing/incomplete/invalid referring provider name
N754: Missing/incomplete/invalid referring provider or other source qualifier on the 1500 claim form.
thank you in advance

When you bill for a 36415 the ordering/referring provider must be on the claim. It may be the same as the servicing provider, but it still must be listed as the ordering/referring provider. For example, patient comes in to see Dr Jones and Dr Jones decides to draw blood. Dr Jones is the rendering provider AND the ordering/referring provider.
