Can anyone please give me some advice on billing 99219 and 99217? The ins paid the 99219 but denied the 99217 with the explanation of "This procedure code represents services integral to the more complex primary procedure sumitted on this claim." (meaning the 99219.) Is it a waste of time to also file the discharge code for observation
(99217) or is there something I need to do to get this paid?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thank you,
