Wiki Billing for non covered anes services to Medicare

[cschoocpc]

Looking for opinions on whether or not we should bill for non covered services on our claim forms for Medicare; ie; 99100 for extreme age and 99140 for emergency services.

I wouldn't bother with those. Medicare does not reimburse for them, so you can't bill the patient. All that will do is inflate your AR.

I agree. We don't bill these codes to Medicare ever. They aren't going to pay for them.
