Good morning all!
I have a question regarding CPT 76604--Ultrasound, chest and 76775--Ultrasound, retroperitoneal denials from Horizon BCBS due to invalid place of service 21--we are receiving a lot of these denials.
These services have been billed for inpatient place of service 21.
The physician is not a radiologist but billed these services as interpretation and reporting as documented on the reports including appending modifier 26.
Is there any way to resolve/correct these denials for reimbursement/payment?...i.e. are there any replacement CPT codes for CPT 76604 and 76775 that are compatible with place of service 21?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
