Yes, thanks.
I saw that.
I am already using an ICD-9 code from that list that supports medical necessity and it's still denying.
The problem might be that I'm also using a secondary code that doesn't support medical necessity. I will refile without that secondary code and see if it pays.
If anyone else knows anything else that might help, please let me know.
Thanks.
 
NGS, our carrier in Indiana & for several other states, has LCD Non-Invasive Vascular Studies, where for 2010 and up to 6/1/11 they only wanted HCPCS code G0365 for dialysis access cases. BUT just revised effective 6/1/11 now G0365 for FIRST dialysis access exam, can go back to using 93970 & 93971 for SUBSEQUENT exams. I think it's #L30737.
