Urgent Care

We have billed an E/M with 99050 for a patient came in on Saturday. It is our understand that we have billed this as an urgent care. Do we have to make any changes on the Code in order to bill under urgent care?
Tricare applied the amount to the patient's deductible and told that we need to bill as urgent care in order to get reimbersed.

Anyone, please help me on this? Thank you :-)

Urgent Care

CORRECTED COMMENT...HCPCS code S9088 is an “add-on” code that allows urgent care centers to receive reimbursement for a portion of this increased cost of rendering service. This code is NOT TO BE USED for Medicare or Medicaid.

S9088

Better recheck that information as far as Medicare goes.
