Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 List Serv, Is anyone billing for and being reimbursed for S8948 (Low-level laser) by non-Medicare payers? If you are providing low-level laser, are you billing the insurance company first and if denied, then try and collect from the patient or are you collecting the fee up front from the patient and then reimbursing them if the payer reimburses for this code? Thank you in advance. Rick Gawenda, PT President, Section on Health Policy & Administration APTA ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ You rock.
