Aetna Denied Claim for CPT Code Knee Injection Billing Code 20610 as Investigational
So here’s a question from one of my blog readers…. “Aetna rejected our claims for CPT 20610 (knee Injection) as “investigational”. Please let us know what we should do to make this claim get reimbursed.” ~ Barb from Florida Pain Practice My Recommendation: I have seen this denial so many times and what I have been advising the practice is by looking at Aetna’s Clinical and Reimbursement Policy. This is most likely due to your Diagnosis Code that does not meet the Medical Necessity guideline according to Aetna’s Policy. You can call Aetna and ask them about their policy, I am very sure they will guide you and they will direct you with that policy. When you have the guideline and policy, review your documentation and medical necessity. You can submit then a corrected claim or appeal the claim if your Diagnosis Code is not listed in one of the diagnosis that meets necessity per their policy. Let’s review the CPT 20610 changes in 2015..
