Hello,
Medicare has that routine foot care policy that does not allow the billing of B35.1 without an underlying condition, however, what if the fungus is in the finger nails? What diagnosis codes are you billing to report the fingers rather than the toes. Medicare has denied E/M services when we bill with B35.1. Very frustrating. Must we appeal with medical notes on all of these?
