We explanted the dual-system permanent pacemaker and then we implanted two new leads and attached them to the existing pacemaker on the other side of the chest. I can’t find one CPT code that captures what we did. Can you offer me insight into how you would code this?
How do you code automated breast ultrasound? Can we code 3D?
Are the level II “G” codes still assigned for presumptive drug tests?
Can code 94010 and 95070 be reported together on a claim for spirometry?
Is there a cost to the hospital if an implantable device that originally cost $20,000 fails and is replaced by a device that costs $16,000 and for which the manufacturer gives a credit of $16,000?
We performed an electrophysiology (EP) study with intracardiac echocardiogram (ICE) and coronary sinus (CS) and left atrial (CS/LA) pacing and ablation for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Which code(s) can we report?
Is modifier JW always required when a single-use vial drug is discarded?
Can hospitals bill Medicare for the lowest level ER visit for patients who check into the ER and are “triaged” through a limited evaluation by a nurse but leave the ER before seeing a physician?
Can we get paid for submitting a Medicare claim for stationary oxygen equipment with the QG modifier AND a claim for portable oxygen equipment with the same date of service?
We have only been billing 78660 for a dacrocystogram. We recently received an edit that says a surgical intervention code might be needed. We use eye drops to administer the radiopharmaceutical. Do we need a surgical code, and would it be 68850?
I thought it was Medicare payers that decided whether modifier JW was required on claims but ours says it is not responsible for this decision. Can you provide information on this?
What kind of lab tests will be included in the new CPT® section on propriety lab analyses (PLAs)?
