Inpatient – Telepsychiatry counseling appointments – denial from Medicare

Does anyone know the revenue code for billing the CPT code (90834) on a UB04? Would it happen to be 0780 or 0789?

The facility is Part A Medicare Provider and all their claims were rejected. They are located in FL. Would we have to call Medicare in FL to find out how to reprocess these claims. If anyone has a phone number to share that would be very helpful.

I have looked all over the internet and was not able to find how to bill this correctly.

Thank you.

Denial CO-252

Hi All

I’m new to billing. I’m helping my SIL’s practice and am scheduled for CPB training starting November 2018.

Can someone explain to me what denial CO-252 means and how to resolve it? Is there a website I can visit that would explain more on denials/rejections and how to resolve them?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Michelle

Therapy codes denial for SNF

Just got a denial from UHC on outpatient therapies i.e occupational and speech, The reason code stated that it is not billed according to the Medicare guidelines. The codes in question are 92526 and 97535 both of em had GN and GO modifiers appended to em respectively but the 92526 also had KX modifier. Adding to that I had the same bill for the same patient for the same procedures but different dates and that one got paid and the only difference was it didn’t have any KX modifier with 92526.

E/M denial

Good morning,
I am looking for some advice on the following scenario and would appreciate any help you could offer. I am receiving a denial on a patient that received a pic line insertion in the morning and was seen by a different provider later that day for an E/M. The E/M is being denied by the payer. Any thoughts on what the correct modifier should be on the E/M? Obviously, 24 wont work because the two visits were with different providers. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

99397 denial because of gyno exam

Anthem has been denying our 99397 for max benefits, and when our follow-up girl investigates it, she is finding that the patient’s gynecologist has already billed 99397 this year. Is this just an error on Anthem’s part, not acknowledging the diagnosis codes associated with the gyno exam and our primary care preventative exam? Is there something we should be doing differently on our end from a coding standpoint?
