Aetna

I have noticed Aetna is now only paying 4(four units) of the Urine Drug Screen. Anybody experiencing this? They have also changed my CPT® code to the G code? I called and asked with a rep telling me that there's a notice about the change, but I can't find it.

Nancy Maguire has written a terrific, informative article on Codapedia on this topic. I don't know if it will help, but I've provided the link.

Thank you so much for the information. Our problem now is Medicare which we bill under " G0434". Novitas is now the new Medicare Adm. For the state of AR and now they are wanting signed records with ABN? We don't understand.

We are having the exact same problem with the Novitas denials in Louisiana and now they are sending denials stating "non-covered charges". Please advise if you have found a solution to the problem.
