Wiki Billing Medicare for Drug Screens

[jwayne65]

I work in a Pain Management office and my Doctor is required by the DEA to perform Drug Screens on any patients taking narcotics. I have followed all of the medicare guide lines that we find and they keep denying them. does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you

Do you bill the G0434 (with a quantity of 1) instead of the 80101 with a
V58.69?

 

[jwayne65]

yes and I have used dx codes of 304.01 and V58.69

I am having the same problem with medicare. They keep rejecting the payments of the drug screens. The remark codes are N286, N265, N276.
