Hey Coders!
The LCD for Podiatry changed in September 2013, but still are questions. Do we have experts here in Podiatry? Please answer.
1. Which doctor of DLS?
-could be podiatrist?
-endocrinologist?
-another PCP, not doctor that patient use to go?
2. LCD states that patient can be seen by MD,DO, or qualified non-physician practioner.
- Who they are qualified non-physician practioners?
-can be NP, DPM? Who else can be?
3. How need to bill 11721 without systemic condition and without Q-modifiers?
for example: DXs: 110.1; 729.5. only
Do we need DLS?
4. Do we need DLS only for diagnoses with asterisc? Right? I want to be sure in it.
Thank you in advance.
