Hi Denise,

my email is arthur.f.ramirez@gmail.com

please shoot me your first/last name, and phone number and I will send you a text

emergency type contact is ok to go through text, or but email is always best to send back links, info and attachments.

If you do email, it's best to shoot me a text message and just give me a heads up, "hey, sent an email, just an fyi" so I know to check my email.

Error rate

I have taken on Coding office visits which I have no real experience in. I started in June and as of today I found out I have a 22% error rate. Is that horrible for a coder starting something new?

Hello, I have a question. How would you code a new patient coming in for a pregnancy test? And how would you code a new patient coming in for std? Can a CMA bill a 99202 for a new patient pregnancy test?
Thank you in advance.

Is it illegal to bill different charge amounts to payers for the same service, items, or procedure? I came from an FQHC that stated it is illegal for us to bill payers different charges but I am now working for a DME company. I can not find hard evidence on this. Any help would be appreciated.

Anesthesia Coders - Please help - I have a patient who had surgery for hip replacement, returned to his room and later the same day had to return to the OR for a complication with the same surgeon. What modifier would I use in order to get this claim paid? Insurance is denying Modifier 78. Thank you and appreciate any help.

Do I put my provider's name inbox 17 of the 1500 form as referring or supervising when billing for my PA? Please advise.

We perform provider-based billing. A nurse is only seeing the patients so when the nurse performs a procedure only (unna boot, debridement, etc.) do we only report the procedure itself, not the procedure and an E/M? But if no procedure is performed would we only bill g0463 for Medicare and 99211 for commercial no matter how long she was with the patient (10 or 40 minutes)?

Hi there - looking for clarification on the following: Primary surgeon completes partial mastectomy then assists on the reconstruction. Are you using the 51 modifier on the assist charge?

Can you bill 99291,99292 on the same day of a major surgery? How many days after major surgery can you bill 99291 or 99223?

I saw your post about wanting to start your own business. I am eventually interested in doing this or partnering up with someone to do this. I have my MBA, billing experience, and working toward my CPC cert. I know it is entirely random-figured I could try to reach out online through the site to find someone wanting the same thing. If I may ask-Have you started or still looking to start your own business?

Hello to all! I currently work at a recently opened Mental Health office, which has applied to be contracted with Medicaid in Florida - we have finished the desk review and are awaiting approval (fingers crossed).

In the meantime , I have been trying to find a list of accepted codes from Medicaid online; does this exist? Or do we need to wait for us to be contracted in order to receive the code list?

Question regarding chemo drug admins. A pt came in on 3/23 for Rituxan, he was not able to stay for the whole tx and came back the next day to complete. According to pharmacy, the same drug vial from 3/23/21 was also used on 3/24/21. Pharmacy charged for the drug on 3/23 only. The pt received chemo on both days, but the drug will only be charged for 3/23/21 should I charge chemo drug adms for both days?

My providers are trying to provide phone visits (99441-443) to patients that are out-of-state. Where I am able to find state requirements on telehealth, I haven't been able to find it specifically for phone only visits. Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to find documentation on this?

I just called Medicare they said they couldn't tell me, that I needed to reach out to a certified coder. My question is I work for a Orthopedic Surgeon, we do xrays in our office, we bill under the PA when she see's patient. But the problem is my provider (the doctor) is the one reading the xrays so he feels he is losing money on those xrays. How and can we bill the xray under him since he is the one reading them?

Hi Jim. I am knew to TAVR coding and have been thrust in to it. Would you be willing to review my billing and tell me why Medicare denied it?

Here is a website link, I used to use frequently. https://hitnots.com/free-online-ceus-may-june-2019/ You can also find free quarterly webinars from the AAPC and local chapters sometimes do free webinars. Another free resource is your magazine from AAPC has tests you can take after reading the articles and those are good for ceu as well.

Thank you for liking my post-partum post! I'm a new coder but an old nurse. Haven't found a job yet but I'll keep trying until August when my AAPC dues are due because I'm not renewing. Thanks again!

I am starting a new job at a small clinic. When I see their imaging documentation it is on the letterhead of the facility they contract to read it not on the letterhead of the facility who performed the imaging. To me there is no way of proving that we did the imaging. Everyone wants to fix this by adding a statement stating it was done at our facility. Is that enough?

Can you bill a 96110 for a elderly patient?
If you cant what would be the best code to bill for a cognitive mini mental assessment?

Hi, I'm new here. I ordered a new book and I did not receive a tracking number for my order. Is anyone had an experience when you order here that doesn't have a tracking number. I understand if it is late coming. but I want to have a tracking number so I can monitor when it is coming.

Hello Everyone, This year for some odd reason Emblem Health (GHI) is now denying the GYN preventative visit. They are stating this is not a covered benefit under the providers specialty. I was wondering if anyone else from NY has come across this problem recently and if you have had any luck reaching a HUMAN being to get it straightened out? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
