Hi - I have a provider that is billing Anesthesia services as telehealth? Anyone else have this happening - code 00811
thank you

That was my reaction - there are several claims for various members billed with codes like 00812, 00811, 00731 with a SG modifier. These were paid because the payer didn't look at the POS and stated that it wasn't standard to review POS when adjudicating a claim. I just had no words for that - but thought I'd see if anyone else was seeing anything like this or knew of payers who didn't take the POS into consideration when adjudicating a claim.How...would that even be possible? I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you but I'm really curious to see who does!
ETA: I need to ask: Is there any chance that doctor regularly bills a very similar code where this could be a typo or just a data entry error with the wrong POS code selected? Or is this happening on a regular basis?
You can't code 00811 for telehealth, as that's not physically possible.Hi - I have a provider that is billing Anesthesia services as telehealth? Anyone else have this happening - code 00811

I find it hard to believe they don't have a front-end edit to compare the service code to the POS. They (generally speaking) certainly do it for E/M codes so we know they can.That was my reaction - there are several claims for various members billed with codes like 00812, 00811, 00731 with a SG modifier.
