I am recently employed in a physicians office for the first time doing the billing and coding. I am being told, what I think of as crazy things. For starters is it true that Medicare reduces payment 60% when diagnosis codes from the 300's are used (such as depression)? Second they are saying that you can't send in paper claims? So they won't bill an unlisted code because it won't pay, but
I was under the understanding that if you had to use an unlisted code then you send in the claim on paper with the notes supporting the unlisted code? I have alot of other questions but this is a good start.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
