Has anyone been paid for the K codes K0556,K0557,K0558,and K0559 by their Medicare DMERC. I have come across a medicare transmittal (Transmittal A-02-097) dated October 11, 2002 that advises the carriers that the K codes will not be recognized in the system till the January updates are released. It advises the carriers to instruct prividers to continue using the deleted L codes until December 31, 2002. Using the K codes may be rejected with an edit reason code of 06.
You can find this memo at www.cms.gov search for A-02-097.
