I have a pt who is in a rehab for a bilateral knee replacement, and comes to our office each month for Zoladex injections per prostate cancer. His office visit and injection has been denied per his being in a rehab. Does anyone know how this should be billed to Medicare to indicate this is seperate and not related to the rehab reason and not a Hospice situation?

Is he in an inpatient rehab facility? If so, no OP/office services are payable. Or is he in a skilled nursing facility and you need to bill the SNF?
If just OP Rehab, that shouldn't have anything to do with him coming to your office. So, I'm thinking it's probably either IP or SNF.
