Hi Rick,
Thanks for your informative updates. We had a MC patient last year who we had to see twice over a 7- month period. The first time was for LBP w/sciatica in left LE with good resolution. A few months later his condition got worse & he had to have a laminectomy. We used the KX modifier after he passed the threshold but MC stopped paying after he passed the $3,000 mark. What does a clinic do in this case to get paid for the denied visits past $3k?
I appreciate your detailed advice for this issue.
You would have to look at the denial reason from your Medicare contractor and then proceed from there.
