Hello out there;
I need help regarding coding for hemodialysis grafts - whenever we
use the ICD code 996.7 for stenosis, thrombosis, etc of a access
graft using the duplex of the access graft code we are denied
payment. Of course this is only a medicare problem, but every renal
failure pt. is medicare. Medicare tell us it has to be a problem
because from manufacturing of the device!!! Any suggestions or
other possible codes.
Thanks - Gail UMMS
