Guest guest Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Please see the attached transmittal from CMS regarding Canalith Repositioning. Many providers have not been reimbursed for this code since Medicare contractors did not have the code added as a sometimes therapy code. According to APTA, this could take until July 1, 2011 to correct. Here is the statement form APTA: " Payment will be made retroactive to January 1. However, CMS states that the contractors may not be able to update their systems to pay for the code until July 1. PTs will need to resubmit all claims that are denied after the contractors update their systems. There will not be automatic adjustments. It is possible that some contractors may figure out a way to pay before July 1, so providers should check with their contractors after the change request is issued. " Here is the link to the transmittal released today: http://www.cms.gov/transmittals/downloads/R2175CP.pdf Rick Gawenda, PT President Gawenda Seminars & Consulting, Inc. www.gawendasemnars.com Upcoming audio conferences can be viewed at http://www.gawendaseminars.com/news.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
