36. Questions In The Chat ANSWERS Your Webinar Chat Team
37. Chat Q & A Webinar- Sept 2015
38. Modifier 33 and Vaccine Can you shed any light on the modifier 33 and the Affordable Care Act and vaccine coding with a preventative visit?
39. Modifier 33 and Vaccine-Answer A HCPCS Code G0121 is a colorectal screening colonoscopy on individual NOT MEETING criteria for high risk-DX V76.51 Screening colon cancer. If you use 45378 which is also a colonoscopy but it is a screening with V76.51, you would add modifier 33 to indicate it was a preventive.
40. G0179 – What should I do for a patient with Medicare primary and BCBS of SC secondary and the physician office bills G0179. Medicare processes and pays, secondary is denying for invalid code?
41. G0179 – Answer G0179 is a physician re-certification for MEDICARE-COVERED home health services under a home health plan of care. There is no CPT code that matches the exact description of this Medicare code so a secondary payment is highly unlikely.
42. Unspecified Codes – I have heard if you use unspecified codes the insurance companies are going to “PIN” the claims and request for additional documentation?? Is this true?
43. Unspecified Codes -Answer Unspecified diagnosis codes are not typically queried unless a high level office visit (ex: 99215) is associated with an unspecified diagnosis not qualifying for such a high level of service. THEN you get flagged and documentation must be provided in order to get paid.
44. 1995 or 1997 Guidelines Q: Which guidelines do you suggest to use for E/M?1995 or 97? A: I find that 1997 is the most common guidelines that physicians use. More comprehensive.
45. Modifiers Change – I’m trying to get an answer on how modifiers will change since ICD10 is so much more specific now. Like we will still be using modifiers in coding after ICD10 is implemented?
46. Modifiers Change -Answer Modifiers are still required on CPT codes and must match the diagnosis code. Example, cerumen removal, bilateral 69210-50 and diagnosis code for impacted cerumen, bilateral is H61.23. The last character 3 indicates bilateral. If it ends in 0, it is unspecified, 1 is right ear, 2 is left ear.
47. Newborn 92586 – Any insight on newborn hearing cpt 92586? Certain payers are denying inclusive to facility but we own the equipment and are providing tc and pc so not being billed with a 26 modifier.
48. Newborn 92586 – Answer 92586 seems to be listed strictly as global while 92585 and 92587 use 26 and TC. 92586 seems to just present as global.
49. Different kinds of coding What is the difference between the different kinds of coding (CCA, CCS, RHIT, etc)
50. Hospital Follow-up – Can you have hosp follow-up as a chief complaint without any further details but follow-up?
51. Transition Care Management – Wouldn’t a hospital follow up be a TCM? Transition Care Management? The patient has to be contacted by a certain time as well as other guidelines pertaining to TCM?
52. Code G83.23 Code G83.23 patient is left handed, for code G83.24 Monoplegia of upper limb affecting left non-dominant side, is patient left handed or right handed?
