I have been having issues with my implantable defibrillator codes, specifically 33206-33208 with claims coming back as missing modifiers, the cms guidelines for these procedures links to the following page
http://www.cms.gov/Outreach-and-Edu...k-MLN/MLNMattersArticles/downloads/MM8525.pdf
however it states that these guidelines are not yet implemented until further notice. So that begs the question as to what guidelines for reporting should I be following? Is anyone else having issues with regard to missing modifiers? From what I understand some providers are requesting Q0 (zero) and some KX? I am fairly new to cardiology and this has been one of my more difficult issues to find a straight answer with. Any relevant information would be greatly appreciated, for the record I am working with providers based in New York city specifically Manhattan so there are no relevant LCD guidelines for New York for these procedures.
