Good afternoon
We've recently encounter a problem with medicare. As a courtesy, we process and submit to medicare and secondary insurance for Custom foot orthoses. These patients all have secondary insurance which cover 80% of the cost. The patients pay for the orthoses.
However, when we submit to medicare using a modifier ky and Ga. Medicare's EOB states we are contractually obligated not to bill patient. We are trying to obtain a denial from medicare in order for the secondary to cover orthoses.
Medicare is of NO HELP!
Does anyone know which modifiers we should use?
All the best
