Post Finding ICD-9 Reimbursement Amounts
Author: Packerbacker
Date: Sep 18, 2008 3:26 pm
As a newly formed entity providing PC as a community based agent I am charged with building our business plan. I can not believe that Part B ICD-9 reimbursement amounts are so hard to find. Jennifer Raiten, Project Officer of CAPC, suggested that I try my luck by contacting the Forum group. Any suggestions as to how I retrieve this information would be greatly appreciated.

I understand from our office manager that there is an on-line program available called "Code Correct" that has the ICD-9 codes and CPT codes with reimbursement noted. Hope that will answer your questions.

I'm thrown off a little by the way this question is worded. Part B ICD-9 reimbursement amounts; Medicare Part B has a fee schedule established for each reimbursable CPT code and they also have individual policies for many services that may only allow payment for those services when specific ICD-9 codes are used. Our carrier, WPS, has a fee schedule that we can very easily access on their web site. I apologize if this is not what the question is asking.
