So I’ve been getting repeated denials and at best minimal/pathetic reimbursements for patients I’ve been seeing at a new SNF we started servicing.
Obviously it’s majority nail care with occasional wounds, lesions etc. Payor mix is the standard mix.
I’ve been billing procedure codes 11721/11720/G0127 along with the proper corresponding q modifier. 11720/G0127 are being accompanied by a 59 modifier.
I am listing diagnosis based on 1. Systemic disease followed by 2. nail disease .
Visit codes are being used for seperate and identifiable diagnosis such as xeroris gangrene, tinea etc. That’s being billed with the visit code and accompanied by a 25 modifier.
What am I doing wrong here? I just got a few reimbursements back for like $10.
Should I be using more visit codes ?
Any advice appreciated.
