Hello,
I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else is having this issue or might have the answer to help me. The family practice that I bill for has started doing Group Nutrition visits for patients in a certain program. We are billing out the 98961 but Medicare has been rejecting it stating that "the benefit for this service is included in the payment/ allowance for another procedure /service that has already been adjusted". We are unsure if there is a HCPCS code that Medicare wants or would pay. We bill these out separately so we are confused as to what other service it would be included in. Any help on this is appreciated.
