Any help would be appreciated.
Claim was denied by Medicare because not medically necessary.
Dx: 296.33
CPT 64570
Post Op Diagnosis: Remove Vagus Nerve Stimulator, non functional
Patient had VNS but did not help the deep depression.
VNS was "turned off" and no longer functioning.
Patient had Breast Cancer and needs followup imaging study.
Patient requested removal of VNS
Any hints on how to resubmit for payment?
