Deleteclaim processed and partially and denied stating provider not eligible for service billed,, what to do in this case
ReplyDeleteThere is a possibility that the provider is not allowed to perform the denied CPT. You may check the payment history if the same provider has received the payment for the same CPT previously then you can ask the insurance rep to reprocess the claim after providing paid claim details.
DeleteIf the provider has never received payment for the same CPT then confirm the reason with the insurance rep.
