I bill for a freestanding ASC and was wondering if anyone is having trouble billing for incomplete colons for Medicare Plus Blue/ Mr Advantage insurance? We bill the same as a straight Medicare patient, using a 74 Modifier for the incomplete. We will get paid for the 1st colon but when patient returns the next day we get a denial for "number of visits exceeds max" on the completed colon. This has never been a problem before but for the past year they have denied the 2nd colon.
Anyone else having an issue like this? Any help would be appreciated
