[Histonet] 88305 cuts

[Kelly Boyd]

 In regards to the 88305 cuts, every state/region is different. In NC, medicare part B global billing was cut from $99.84 to $66.68, the TC (technical component) was cut from $64.60 to $30.83 and the PC (professional component) went up from $35.23 to $35.85. These new reimbursement changes started as of Jan 1, 2013.
Also, to keep in mind, even though you can bill MC $30.83 for the TC portion, they will only pay 80% of what you bill. So the actual reimbursement is only $24.67.
