I sent some claims already for some of these patients with G code. I did use the same date of service the script was made when the pateint was in the office. Non of the patient was in global period . They were all either new or established patients. Medicare has already received claims for these patients on the same day I reoported these visits.It is just like like adding a code to previous claim. I am just trying to catch up to make sure I got the number I need before june 30. From Now on I add the G code with any medicare patient who has a script.
Of course I wont be able to know if Medicare will honer these claims as being only notification that somthing I missed. As you know CMS can easly audit any claim for duplication or invalid date of service. I can always printed form my AC for verification if CMS requested. I hape I am doing the right thing.
I will let you know. If my payment change after june 30.
Thanks for your input
