I recently received a bill from a local facility and when I looked over the bill and it had a code 87506GZ. I was unfamiliar with the GZ code so I looked it up. I found on the Medicare website that it’s a modifier because they expect denial because it is not medically necessary, and the patient is not responsible for payment.
When I questioned them about it, they sent me a new bill, with the same codes, but without the modifier.
Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this?
