Hi Everyone,
I am having an issue getting a supply either paid or shown as patient responsibility since an ABN was signed. code is ... L4360 (fracture boot/pneumatic). We are not DME suppliers but have these supplies on hand for the convenience of our patients. When we bill the L4360 to Medicare with a GA, it is denied stating they need an additional modifier. We have tried submitting with NU as well but we still get the same denial. I tried to research this and thought maybe the KX was the modifier we needed, but the rep at Medicare tells me that is a physical therapy modifier. Am I missing something here? Does anyone know what I should be billing it with or at this point am I allowed to bill the patient for the supply? I would be more comfortable with it coming back as patient responsibility. Thanks all.
