Has anyone else had this experience & if so, were you able to appeal it with CMS. The codes were definitely entered on the visit & we can see it on the ticket & in the batch. As always, CMS wants to be difficult. I want to make sure the providers are not penalized.

Thanks - Melissa

In your insurance carrier setup, did you have the checkbox "Include zero dollar procedures"? That is the key for those codes to go out on the claim. Can you look at your raw EDI file in EDI submission to see if the zero dollar ones went out? I can help you parse the raw file if you need.

Hi Angela-

That was the issue, the "include zero dollar" wasn't checked under the Medicare insurance carrier. In looking at the Patient Procedure List report we cannot find any ticket #'s that show where the G8553 went on the "claims" tab, it's only in the "charges" tab. I'm looking at the raw data in the EDI Submission, but which "record type" will give me the charges info? That would be a huge help if you could walk me through it. Thanks so much!

Melissa
