: billing medicare replacement plans
: KARREN January 07, 2011, 11:51:57 AM
services done by ARNP/MD  pcodes 97530,97012,97032 no attached modifer billed to mcare replacement= AARP medicare complete UHC.. they denied the codes due to icd9 not supportive, rep asked me to rebill with a supportive icd9 code in re LCD's..  (I am new learning LCD's) .. I researched the LCD's, it shows payable dx 457.0, 457.1, 757.0.    Now, I am really confused.. I have billed the above mentioned codes directly to medicare by the ARNP with GP modifer with dx's like 724.4, 724.4,722.52 and they have paid.
When I bill a medicare replacement should I use the GP modifer as well? need help

When we bill PT codes to a MCR replacement plan we use the GP modifier.
