Hello everyone,
Regarding a code for a protective face mask, I had one person say there was a code on Medicare, but I and my office staff were unable to find it. All the other responses either said use a -99 code or requested I post the responses.
At that, I'd say the consensus is to use a miscellaneous code. Unfortunately in this case, it was not covered by the patient's insurance and she will be going online to get a custom by 4 measurements carbon mask from Spain for only $380.
