Long story short...My office merged with a local hospital network and they are on the Epic System. In our old system when coding for medicare patient who gets an bilateral injection of synvisc one per medicare guidelines we are to bill 20610 50 and j7325 rt and j7325 lt. However now we are being told by the central billing office of the network we joined that CCI edits want it to be 20610 rt 20610 lt j7325 rt j7325 lt
example 2 was injections to 2 different sites we would code 20610 rt with correct DX code and the second would be 20610 59, rt with the correct dx code. they are trying to tell me that i have to explain in an attached note to each 20610 code which body part?? Doesnt the dx code explain the body part..at least that is what i thought!
Please help..
