Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi Guys Can anyone tell me what we are doing wrong? Lately we have been getting calls from a few of our patients stating that Medicare has denied a claim for reason: There was not a covered diagnosis submitted on the electronic claim. These denials were all for carotid and arterial Doppler which is a requirement on all diabetic for kidney evaluation. All patients are diabetic and we use the code 585.6. Do you guys think that we are using the wrong code, should we be using a code for diabetes (250.00)? Please help me my phone is ringing off the hook from patients getting billed. Who should I contact to get the problem taken care of? Thanks Beverly Antoine, LPN Transplant Financial Coordinator LSU-UMC Laffayette, LA bantoi@...
