Guys,I am blown away! It is no wonder that the insurance companies are having a field day with our industry. I sent out an email this morning asking for the Bluecross fee schedule in my neighboring states of Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Tennessee. I have spent the last hour on the phone with five different facilities, and none of them know their BC fee schedule for the code of L0627. I cannot understand, how can you make sure you are profitable if you do not know what you are being reimbursed?
We should be able to work together to the point of making sure that the insurance companies are reimbursing us all fairly. This information should not be considered private or off limits, any provider in the state should have access, so it should not be seen as one company protecting themselves from a competitor. If you are in one of these states and know your BC fee schedule, would you please let me know that amount? Our BC in Alabama has reduced our reimbursement to $88.00, this is below our cost!
Any help is appreciated, and I appreciate those of you from Texas, but you guys are too far away to use as a fair comparison for state coverage.
