Hello all,
Just had a quick question in regards to billing out labs in a doctor office (11) setting.
We use Quest Diagnostics as a lab and one of our providers needed some extensive tests done on a patient. However, the issue lies with the CPT codes being reported/billed being denied.
What was billed out:
Code:
36415 - venipuncture
87081 - C Dif w/ Reflex
83993 - Calprotectin, stool
87045, 87046, 87427 - Sal/Shig/Campy Culture and Shiga toxin test.Now my issue is that 87081 has a CCI conflict with 87045 and 87046. Is there a modifier I might be able to use to have this reprocessed or should I not bill the less expensive test?
Thank you!
