Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 We underwent an audit by Medicare with regards to this and they denied payment of all claims with G0283 stating that " the documentation must describe the electrical stimuation to be used to stimulate weak muscles " not for pain control. This would be NMES not ES or IF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
