I can't thank you enough for your help. You have pointed me in some new directions to follow.
From the CMS/Medicare code it sounds like the one to use is 0163T, which neither TriCare/Humana or TBI have mentioned.
As suggested by the Humana person, I called another doctor to ask what codes he had successfully used. They called back & left a message on my voice mail with yet another set of codes.
It is no wonder people can't get there surgery covered with all these confusing codes.
Thanks again,
Jane
