Outdated CPT Codes May Cost You Thousands

Believe it or not, some medical providers are still using outdated CPT or ICD nine codes. A C P T code is the procedure performed and the I C D nine codes are no longer in existence. Now they have these I C D 10 codes and the I C D is your diagnosis. The c p T code is the procedure that was performed, so I get a bill for $60,000, which was sent back to the medical provider. And the issue was if they didn’t correct that bill, they couldn’t, could not, there was no way they were able to bill the patient the $60,000 cause they weren’t getting paid. It was their error. So in the end, my client was no longer responsible for that money. Once it was submitted correctly, you have to go after the medical provider to do the billing correctly.
