Hi everyone
Im new to vascular ( i came from 20 years of ortho).
We bill a lot of ablations, CPT 36475. I was told NOT to use a modifier RT or LT when billing Medicare only.
Well, now we are getting a flood of denials from Medicare and the denial explanation on EOB is vague and just says "missing or incomplete information".. I didnt have time to wait on hold to talk to someone at Medicare. Is it ok to put an RT or LT on this code? i dont want to rebill corrected claims until i get an answer.
Thanks so m uch
