I'm really hoping someone can help me. My physician gave one of her Hospice patients the Flu Vaccine. The patient is on Medicare. I submitted the CPT codes of 90656 and G0008, but they denied this with the reason being "Patient is enrolled in a Hospice."
Will they really not cover the flu vaccine for someone on Hospice or do I just need to resubmit this using the -GW modifier (Service not related to the hospice patient's terminal condition)? It doesn't say anything about a missing modifier, but I'm thinking this might be the problem.
Thanks for your help ahead of time.
