What code(s) is the mesh for a hernia included? I have just received several requests for refunds from BC FL stating that they overpaid. This was prior to me being at this facility, but I want to see if I can fight any of them. Thank you for any help!
You might also want to find out if there's an exclusion in your contract with BC FL. BC AZ doesn't pay separately for the mesh unless you include a provision for payment in the contract.
Thanks, our contract does allow payment of implants. I'm fighting them on a few others as well, they were trying to take back the money for other implants, like tibial tendon grafts used in ACL repairs.
