Hi everyone!
Our retina doctors are wanting to start including these diagnosistic services with their billing, however I am having a hard time find any resources on these codes. They are wanting to use these to help decongest our OCT machine, as we only have one in our clinic and these doctors see over 50 patients a day, depending on their day sometimes 80.
We are in Noridian Jurisdiction F for Medicare and there are no LCD's that I can find, just a NCD.
Questions our doctors are asking:
1) Is there a limit to how often we are billing these codes? (I don't see that there is, as long as it is medically necessary and can show pathology)
2) Will using these trigger an audit from your experience?
3) What are your retina doctors doing?
If you could include resources that might be helpful, that would be amazing!!!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
