I wanted to know if anyone knows what they pay for E0856 (cervical traction device, cervical colllar with inflatable air bladder. The Chiro I bill for wants to give it to a patient but he does not know how much to charge. I tried looking at the mcr fee schedule but I could not find it.
Thanks

Hi,
Usually people charge about 125-150% of invoice cost.
The E code won't be on the regular Medicare fee schedule, it would be on the Medicare DME fee schedule. If he intended to bill Medicare he would have to become a Medicare supplier which is a totally different application than Medicare.
(Just in case it was a Medicare patient and he was thinking of that. :) )

Thanks for your help. I did look on the mcr DME fee schedule just to see how much their fee was. He wants to bill an auto carrier.
I will let him know.
Thanks again :D

Good luck! Most pay the amount billed if you attach the invoice.
