HI,

I have a patient that has Metroplus for most medical services except family planning/sterilization - that has to go to NYS Medicaid. She has a c-section and BTL on same dos. (in this case the BTL is an add-on code). Do I split the claim or send a claim with both codes to each carrier and let them pay what they are responsible for? I am not familiar with this scenario and am wondering if anyone has any experience with these carriers. I checked their respective sites, but didn't see any info re this particular circumstance.

Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Thanks!

Kathleen
 
I would send the total claim to the primary insurance for the C Section and when/if the BTL is denied, then I would send the claim and EOB to NYS Medicaid. Hope this helps
