We also use the chronic renal failure code as a second code but have had no denials from medicare. Appeal it if you continue to get denied. see you at SVT? Sandy King Thanks for the reply Sandy - it is such a big help to get info from everyone. Now I have the ammo I need to appeal - See you in New Orleans Gail
