Has anyone seen an update on the Medicare LCD that came out for the new biopsy codes that didn’t include the ICD-10 for rash? What are your providers billing to Medicare when this service is performed for this diagnosis?
Rash Diagnosis for Biopsy
This is a re-post from last week: Has anyone seen the new LCD # 33445 for Removal of Benign and Malignant Skin Lesions? This is the latest LCD that they added the new biopsy codes to and on that LCD a rash (R21) no longer is allowed to be used as a diagnosis. My physicians use this as a last resort in treating a rash that will not respond to topical medication and if they knew what type of skin condition they would use that diagnosis. Has anyone been able to get this combination paid?
Post op rash = billable?
Hi all,
Curious to get opinions on this one.
Surgeon performed surgery. About 1 week later, patient returned for post op office appointment. She developed a rash within the range of surgical area, but NOT at or near the actual incision at all. It is written in the note that the rash "may or may not be" due to the Chloraprep solution painted on the area preop.
The doctor assessed the rash and gave patient a prescription. (obviously no return to the OR).
Would this be considered a post-op complication within the global period, and not billable? Or can I bill as an unrelated condition during post op period with modifier 79??
Thanks!
