Does anyone out there know if it's legal to bill (primarily for Medicare), a 98941 that includes 2 spinal regions and one extremity; since they don't pay for the 98943??
Thanks!

The description of the 98941 code is spinal manipulation 3-4 regions, which means the adjustment has to be done on the spine, not an extremity, by definition. I would not think you could count an extremity as one of the 3-4 regions.
Sorry! :(
