Hello,
We billed Medicare for 97140-59 and 97150. They paid the latter but denied the former stating that an accompanying code was not billed. I looked up NCCI edits and RVU values, the RVU values on 97140 are larger, so why is 97150 the column 1 code??
Does anyone have any input as to why the 97140 is not paying? According to CPT, it is not an add-on, it is a standard 1:1 15 minute incremental PT.
