Neuromuscular Re-ed and BCBS of Tennessee

[Guest guest]

Hello group,

We have a patient here in NC who has BCBS of Tennessee through and employer. She

had a long and complicated recovery from necrotizing fasciitis. BCBS of

Tennessee is denying all charges of neuromuscular re-ed (97112) saying it is

investigational. Whaaaaat???? Here is the link to the policy. Anyone have any

experience with this? The references at the bottom of the page are, shall we

say, interesting.
