Living Donor Kidney Transplant

[Guest guest]

HELP!!!!! Medicare is denying a claim for the living donor portion for

physician charges during the inpatient stay. Denial states " won't pay

daily care for inpatient " on the donor. I know I was told to use the Q3

modifier indicating a living donor; does anyone know if this has

changed or know what I can tell the physician's office to get the claim

paid by Medicare?

Thanks.
