Hello!
Our office does many of our procedures under fluoroscopy guidance, and I bill for the contrast using CPT code Q9966 with NDC 0270131530, this is what's on the bottle, and they are not expired. However, several insurances have begun denying this code (particularly UHC) saying the NDC is invalid/withdrawn.
My office coordinator says there is a current national shortage of the Isovue we use; I'm wondering if they're releasing a new one with a new NDC, and this may be why they are denying.
Has anybody else experienced this? How do I argue with the insurance company that the NDC is correct for what we are using? I know it doesn't reimburse much (about 34 cents, woohoo) but they do add up when we do 15-20 procedures a day, several days a week.
Thank you!
