I am being told by NC Medicaid that I can't use CPT code 82948. Here is what I am being told.
"CPT 82948 is not a CLIA waived test and will not pay with a QW modifier. It requires a CLIA cert of 310—Chemistry-Routine Chemistry"
Another office in the area recommends using 82962. The description for that code states - specifically for home use. I don't feel as though I can use this one.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
