Are there any other FQHC's suddenly getting denials for 85610 QW from Medicare? If so, how are you handling this in your CHC?
Apparently the LCD states:
"Prothrombin Time (PT) performed prior to medical intervention when there are no signs or symptoms of bleeding or thrombotic abnormality or a personal history of bleeding, thrombosis conditions associated with coagulopathy."
Medicare is no longer paying for the tests.![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
