Our practice bills a 99211 and 36415 to our payers when a patient comes in for a blood draw. Our nurses do take a blood pressure and chart any complaints patient may have. About a month ago, Medicare started denying the 99211 saying " this service requires that a qualifying service/procedure be received and covered. Not covered when performed during the same session/date as a previously processed service for the patient. " Now our other payers are following. We do use the same diagnosis for the 99211& 36415. Can anyone help and let me know if I need a modifier or anything or if the 36415 is all we will be reimbursed for.
Thanks in advance!
