I have two claims for crowns that have been denied - two separate patients, one insured with MetLife, the other Principal. I have been through one appeal with MetLife and two appeals with Principal. I have never had claims denied for lack of necessity. They were necessary and obviously I did not provide the correct documentation/narrative. I would appreciate any help getting insurance benefits for these two patients. Thank you, Beverly Knight

I need help with coding for a therapeutic drug injection, I was told to use CPT 96374, however this keeps being rejected as apart of the global code for my anesthesia 00170; where on my CMS-1500 do i specify what kind of drug this is so that it will be paid? I have found J code J1100 for decadron but do not know where on the claim form it should be listed. Thanks

How would you bill for a sleep apnea device to be used in conjunction with a CPAP machine to medicare? I have been using a 1500 form using dx: 327.23, 780.57,& 286.09. New office visit 99203 & E0486. With a description of the E0486. Should both of these codes be payable by Medicare and/or commercial insurance payers? Or am I billing this incorrectly?
