Hello,
I recently started coding for an orthopedic surgeon who specializes on the spine. Medicare has denied cpt code 22830 for "pre/post operative care payment is included in the allowance for the surgery/procedure. The surgeon performed this procedure three times on three different levels on same date of service. Medicare will not pay on any of the procedures. I billed with the modifier 59 and still receiving denials. I don't know what else to do. Someone please assist me with this.
Thanks
