I have recently started receiving denials from our billing office regarding the use of N39.0 (UTI) without the additional B95-B97 code. When I query the physicians they tell me they may never know the infectious agent because they do not test for it. This just seems to be an issue that has just started. Is anyone else receiving these denials and how are you coding these without the B95-B97? My gut reaction is telling me signs and symptoms but the physicians have me questioning my gut!! Please help!
thanks
