Wiki Medicaid does not recognize 37236

Medicaid does not recognize 37236, stent placement w/ angioplasty etc. It is a new code and they don't have it in their fee schedule, can we bill just for the angioplasty 35476? and at least get paid for part of the procedure we are doing?

We have problems like this a lot with GA Medicaid. We still code with the correct codes but Medicaid normally reprocesses all the claims once they are loaded. GA Medicaid can sometime take a few months for the process to happen. This use to be a huge problem when ICD-9 was being updated.
