Dr did Kyphoplasty on SNF patient in the Office Setting.
99152/99153 were moderate sedation codes billed along with the 22513 for kyphoplasty. Medicare paid 22513…Denied 99152/99153 stating it is responsibilit of SNF.
For non-SNF patients, Medicare does pay 99152/99153.
Does anybody have any documentation stating that 99152/99153 pmt is the responsibility of the SNF?
