I am a new coder and would like help with a rejected bill. In the clinic, the doctor did a DepoMedrol 80mg injection in right shoulder. Proceure orders state "injection tendon". It was billed as a 20550, 99212 -25 modifier and J1040. It came back as a "medical necessity error". Also states "Coverage of this procedure with the given Dx is not covered (726.90 Capsulitis, tendinitis, periarthritis or other enthesopathy) based on the official Medical Review Policy". How would I fix this? I thought 20610 -RT, 99212 -25, J1030 X 2 would work. What do you suggest, and why? Thanks, Pam
