A podiatrist office we work with bills for the tech component for 88305, 88313, and 88312 then global for 88311 for slides made at their lab which is in the same medical group. They are getting a PR-172 denial code. The lab is mainly utilized for GI specimens and we aren’t getting the same denials for their claims. I’m wondering if the podiatrist isn’t "qualified" to oversee the tech component for pathology. Has anyone had any experience with anything like this? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
