2017-2018 Anthem Blue cross – UDS

Posted on by
HI ALL

i have been fighting with anthem blue cross for months now. CMS rolled out the g0481 82 and 83 codes to bundle all the 8 codes that were previously billed how ever now they have a policy updated on 08/2017 that states they accept the 8 codes again… However they are requesting medical records for ALL samples be sent with the claims meaning now i have to send all on paper attached with medical records. Is any one else having this issue?
