Medicare Service Code 96402 refers to the administration of chemotherapy drugs via an injection or infusion, specifically for the treatment of cancer. This code is typically used for the administration of anti-neoplastic agents that are not self-administered. It is important for healthcare providers to document the procedure accurately to ensure proper billing and reimbursement.

Medicare reason code CO16 indicates that the claim has been denied because the procedure or service is considered to be not medically necessary according to Medicare guidelines. This means that the treatment provided does not meet the criteria for coverage under Medicare's policies. Providers may need to review the documentation and possibly appeal the decision if they believe the service was necessary.
The physical exam (code 99397) has never been covered by Medicare. Further, the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) services clearly do not include an exam.
Medicare won't pay extra for reporting CPT code 62311 bilaterally.
No, Medicare is a Fee For Service Program, but doctors must contract with Medicare to treat Medicare patients
90772 must be filed to Medicare along with the drug code. If you are not filing a drug code when reporting 90772, you can not bill 90772. You would bill 99211 as long as the physician is present for general supervision. If the physician is not present, the patient brought his/her medication to the office, you can not bill for the service. Hope this helps, PCC

Medical Service Code 99397-GY refers to a preventive medicine visit for an established patient, typically for a comprehensive evaluation and management of an adult patient aged 65 or older. The "GY" modifier indicates that the service is not covered by Medicare, often because it is considered a preventive service that may not meet specific criteria for coverage. This code is used by healthcare providers to bill for the service when the patient is responsible for the cost.
