Good Morning All,
We just got a new client whose specialty is Pain Management. I am new with following up on payment reimbursement for this type of client. So I am a little overwhelmed. We are receiving a lot of denials for the J codes being inclusive to the procedure but I can not find anywhere that states what is inclusive. The CPT codes being billed do not state that the medicine used is included and the CPT is not listed in Appendix G of the CPT as an inclusive code. I do understand the NCCI edit on the J code J2001.
Example: CPT code 64494-50 billed with J3490.
Can someone explain this to me so that I can better understand and explain to the doctor? These are being billed to commercial insurance not Medicare.
Thank you,
