My Doc did a Cardiac Catheterization and the patient had to stay overnight in OBS I billed 93458-26 for the 1st day and a 99217 for the next day. UHC is refusing to pay the 99217 stating it is not supported,and that he did not indicate that an OBS day management was performed, they also said there was a better code to use. I had sent all the medical records the cath report and the discharge summary which included all the elements required per the CPT definition for 99217. Can anyone tell me what I am missing in order to get this paid.
Thanks
