Wiki Should I bill cpt's that are not covered?

[mauadajar]

Hi. I know that Illinicare does not pay for Q0091. G0101 is bundled with the preventive visit. They also do not pay for 99407 (smoking counseling). How do you bill for this?

1. Do you just bill Preventive visit because this is the only CPT that will get paid?

2. Do you include Q0091, G0101 and 99407, knowing that it will get denied. Is it wise to include it just for record purposes?


Thanks!

If it is non-covered code I would still bill it so it can be adjusted as non-covered charge. Or when the charge is posted go ahead zero out the charge. Either way is fine it would just be the practice's preference.
