I am new to a dermatology practice that is having quite a few denials on brachytherapy with the codes of 77280 and 0394T. I've never had Medicare or other commercial payers deny these claims as they are billed with the Dx codes of skin cancers. If there are 2 sites being treated at the encounter, is the correct way to bill 77280 x 2 and 0394T x 2? I've always coded this procedure this way in the past but for some reason this new practice I started working with has been getting denials when this is billed with either a quantity of 1 site or 2. The MUE is 2 for each code, so not sure why the denial. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
