Can anyone give me any insight regarding the use of the Fujinon Intelligent Chromo Endoscopy (FICE)System. Our providers perform an EGD using white light and the FICE system and they want us to bill 43239 and 43499-59 (for the FICE system) but payers deny the 43499-59 as bundled. I am not real sure why the use of FICE system would warrant a separate charge, so I am having difficulty with the requests to appeal the denials.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
