Good Morning,
We have been receiving denials for patient's pre-op E/M charge for colon screening. These patient's are seen about 3 days before their colonoscopy. The reason for the visit is Colon Cancer Screening. We are billing this E/M visit with a dx code of V76.51. Medicare is denying as routine and stating this is pt resp. Is that correct? Is there anyway we can get this pd? Thanks for the help!
