We are receiving an MUE edit/denial for this visit. Facility side coded:
99253
11043 1unit
11046 32units
Clinical (professional fees) side believes this coding is incorrect - no mention of excisional, no mention of instrument used for I&D or debridement (should not be billed/coded without this info?), total size looks to be calculated incorrectly (55cm x 12cm; s/b 10cm x 11cm?)
Please see attached procedure note and provide feedback. Would like some supporting info before query to provider. Thank you
