Hi All

I was wondering how you bill or do you write off F codes (example:  1032F, 4000F, etc)?  The message I'm receiving from the payer is 246: This non-payable code is for required reporting only.

TIA   :)

The codes that are used for reporting quality should only be on Medicare claims.  Are you billing them to other carriers?

Quality reporting measure codes only go to Medicare, as Michele mentioned, and at a zero charge. If for some reason your billing software won't allow a zero charge, make it a penny, then write it off after claim processes. To be honest, I didn't know that Medicare still accepted quality reporting measures on claims any more, since all my providers have a MIPS dashboard in their EMR's that pulls the measures from their notes, and gets sent in to Medicare that way.
