Has anyone been experiencing denials on new 2014 stent codes (37236/37238) when submitted with global modifier 78? CMS shows that this code has a 000 global period so modifier is needed, however when -78 modifier is appended, it is denying for "inconsistent modifier". Follow up calls show that NGS won't accept the -78 but will the -79 (which makes no sense since they are both global modifiers). Has anyone had success appealing?
Thank you!
