I so seldom use Level 2 coding, I am havong a hard time explaining to another coder how to code the CPT Level 2 codes for Hemoglobin A1C Testing
See if I have this right
You have in your CPT codes - the E/M visit - with a 25 modifier
Then you have the 83037 code for the actual test
Then you have another line where the Level 2 coding goes (3044F or 3046F for example)
The E/M visit will reference like all the ICD-10 codes, whereas the other two will reference only the Diabetes code (e.g. E11.9) and the R73.09 code for abnormal glucose
I think I have this right...how to explain it, over the phone to someone else?
Or would someone be kind enough to send me a claim example of this...with PHI removed, of course?
Thanks.
