We billed a 95870 with 2 units for a Medicare patient and it was denied as missing/incomplete/invalid days or units of service.
The documentation states:
EMG evaluation of selected left upper extremity muscles, normal.
EMG evaluation of selected right upper extremity muscles, normal.
After further review, less than 3 muscles were tested in the left & right upper extremities.
Are we billing it correctly? It went in w/95870 with 2 units. OR should we be billing it on 2 separate lines, with mod 59 appended to the 2nd 95870?
Can someone help us....please?
Thank you!![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
