Hi All,
We have an established patient who came to see our MFM doctor. The doctor did a fetal non-stress test. He coded this as 99213 and 59025. The payer is denying the E/M as included in the non-stress test. We are having a big problem with them denying the E/M code as included in an ultrasound or non -stress test. Does anyone know of the correct rule for this. I have done non-stop research and have come up with nothing regarding this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
