I have a question and I am hoping someone is able to help me in the right direction or answer it for me.
When billing Medicare with cpt code 20610 under a PA, we used to just bill with RT and LT modifiers. Medicare is now denying them stating that the modifiers are not consisent with the procedure code billed out. We bill out under incident to guidelines, so if the PA is the one who say the patient the only thing that gets billed under the MD is the medication and the rest would go under the PA, i.e. OV and injection(s). Does anyone know where I can find this information regarding modifiers used for Medicare or has anyone else ran into this same problem? Thank you for your help in advance, it will be much appreciated![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
