UCR 187: Change Health cyberattack update; FAQs - 99459 documentation, N30.10 denials, and 51701 for urine capture

March 15, 2024

Mark, Scott, and Ray discuss the Change Health cyberattack and questions that came into the PRS Network.

1. Hello,
   What is the recommendation on documentation for new code 99459? Our practice is wanting to create a template for this procedure code. I know documenting a chaperon is key. Thank you

2. Hello,

   I need help.

   I am having issues with multiple insurance companies denying diagnosis code N30.10 stating it is an invalid code. Anyone else experiencing this issue? Any indication on what the issue is?

   I looked in the ICD10 code book and it states it is a billable code.

   Thank you

3. Hi I have a coding question for peds urology.

   Can CPT 51701 be used for a urine capture for UAs? Since this is peds our payor mix does not include medicare. I was under the impression that for commerical payors 51701 cannot be used for urine capture and that it would bundle into the E/M service.

   Also, shouldn't we be able to code 81001-81003 for the UA? The provider is only coding an E/M service with 51701.

   Thanks!
