Rick, I am having a problem with First Coast CMS contractor changing 97112 on the EOB’s to MCB bene’s from Neuromuscular re-education to re-educate brain to nerve to muscle function. I have had several bene’s contact MCB saying that they never received the service. They say, “You never massaged my brain.” I have had to send in denials for several cases. Is this legal that they are changing the nomenclature for AMA coding?
