What are the two codes that can be billed to medicare for nursing denials so the claim can be transferred to a secondary payor for processing.
For commercial payers I use 99601 and 99602 for additional hours.
This is for home infusion so I do know that the GY modifier is required, I am just unsure of what codes to use.

I'm  sorry but I'm unsure what service you are trying to code.  Home infusion or nursing?

I'm not sure what you want to know about the nursing code.  The original post was asking about billing home infusion but they mentioned nursing so I asked them to clarify what they are trying to bill, home infusion or nursing services.  But they never clarified.

I'm sorry but I'm still very unclear as to what you are looking for.  Are you looking for cpt codes for home health?
