Good afternoon,
I was hoping an AAPC member could offer some advice. My billing for inpatient services for hemodialysis treatment for a hospitalized patient with End Stage Renal Disease was denied by the insurance company because "the medical records submitted do not include hemodialysis evaluation from the servicing provider; therefore, the service cannot be verified." This is my first instance of denial of reimbursement for such services. Is anyone aware of formal documentation requirements for providing hemodialysis services in an inpatient setting?
Thanks,
Dr. H.
