Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
If the provider performs a brief, detailed, or extended history and exam, report the appropriate office/outpatient E/M code (99201-99215)
We have a physician who wants to bill E/M and not preventative. He wants to bill 99214 because he does a detailed history and physical exam, including full social hx, meds, allergies, past medical, past surgical , and a comprehensive exam fpr the head start or sports physical.
We bill a preventive code for head start phyicals, as we count it as their child physical but coded as V70.3. Most insurance companies will not pay for a sports physical's so I would check with the insurance to see if they will pay. We have a set rate of $25.00 for sports physicals and they are not sent to the insurance unless the patient sends in a claim. I hope this helps!!
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code Z32.3:
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code (s). The following references for the code Z32.3 are found in the index:
The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10 Code Edits are applicable to this code:
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code Z32.3 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.
While you can include up to 12 diagnosis codes on a single claim form, only four of those diagnosis codes can map to a specific CPT code. That’s because the current 1500 form allows space for up to four diagnosis pointers per line, and that won’t change with the transition to ICD-10.
An exam is built into the 98940 code. To get paid for the E/M codes when you also bill 98940, they have to be significantly more intensive than you get with the 98940 and modifier 25 needs to be added to the E/M code to indicate that. see more. Show more replies.
You can list up to four diagnosis pointers for each CPT code, and you may use each diagnosis pointer more than once.
There are certain procedure codes that must be grouped together for billing purposes. The claim may get denied by the payer if the procedure codes are sent in different claims. One of the examples might be that the patient showed up for Office Visit (99202) and after further counseling, ended up receiving a Depo-Provera shot (J1050). Now, you cannot receive a shot without having an encounter with a clinician, so to speak these two services should be grouped together into one claim.
If you include multiple diagnosis codes on a single claim, you should order them according to significance. To reiterate the point I made above, with ICD-10, there will be a lot of instances in which you will submit multiple codes on a single claim.
Thanks for your comment! Are you referring to CPT codes? ICD-10 diagnosis codes do not correlate to units billed. You may list all four codes in order of importance and it will not affect your treatment time billed. Please let me know if I've misunderstood the question.
Yes, the denial states it a coding error. I spoke to the provider rep and claims. They just say its a coding error and I can appeal.
