Medicare and Medicaid billing for an audiology office
Hello.
1. If I bill a procedure code that is covered and payed by my private payers, but it is a code that medicare and medicaid don’t cover, do I still bill medicare and medicaid, knowing full well they won’t cover?
2. Do I have Medicare and Medicaid patients sign an ABN form? And bill them for it?
3. Do I just not bill Medicare, Medicaid and the patient? Since I know its not a covered benefit.
Any information/guidance you could share would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

Audiology- same day billing
I work in an audiology outpatient clinic. I had two audiologist see the same patient on the same day. Audiologist A billed 92567 and the B billed 92555. The following week the same incident occurred but with a different patient. This time Audiologist A billed 92550 and B billed 92579. Is there any coding or billing guidelines stating or not that two audiologist can bill different diagnostic testing from the same location, with two different NPIs , and on the same day of service? :confused:
