Alaska Medicaid is denying F98.8 and F90.0 for adult patients. They only recognize them for patient age 0 to 17 years, 11 months. My office has copied the page out of ICD 10 and included it with our appeal. Book states " Behavioral and emotional disorders with the onset usually occurring in childhood and adolescence. Codes within categories F90.0 and F98.8 may be used regardless of the age of a patient. These disorders generally have onset within the childhood or adolescent years, but may continue throughout life or not be diagnosed until adulthood". Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas how to get these claims paid?
Thanks for the help,
