We are having some difficulties biling for botox injections having to do with the interpretation of the code. Medicare seems to interpret it differently than BC/BS.
Medicare allows these codes to be billed bilaterally with a -50 modifier and multiple -51, which seems to interpret the code as being allowed for each extremity done. BC/BS does not allow the code billed more than one time each session, which seems to interpret the code as all extremities included.
Is anyone else having this problem?
