Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 We are being denied wound care by Medicare-Trailblazer Part B in Texas for 97601. They are saying only physicians can bill this code. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Bubba Klostermann, WORK & REHAB, Abilene, Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Bubba Klostermann, WORK & REHAB, Abilene, Texas >> Bubba, Sign on to Trailblazers under Part A (not sure if a corresponding Part B area, but our billing thought this should work for you). Go to Inquiry (01). Go to HCPCS. Tab over to HCPC field and type in the code. That should give you valid revenue codes and reimbursement for your provider #. We are Hospital (CAH) based. I'm looking at my screen print now and it defininely shows a REHAB RATE of $38.35 and the same PROF RATE and the HCPC description. Hope that works for you.
