Welcome to your billing and coding weekly solutions by American Acupuncture Council Network (AAC).
On January 21, 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced their decision
to cover acupuncture for chronic low back pain (defined as localized pain in the lower back that persists for more than three months).
This provides Medicare coverage for acupuncture for up to 12 sessions in a 90-day period (possibly an additional 8 sessions if a person experiences an improvement in their symptoms).
Remember, billing with incorrect acupuncture CPT and ICD codes can lead to claim rejections and delays in payments, which can have a devastating impact on generating revenue and keeping you in business.
If you are experiencing insurance claim denial, staff spending too much time trying to get claims paid, and patients asking why their claims have not been paid then American Acupuncture Council Network is your solution.
American Acupuncture Council Network stays ahead of the curve on the latest trends and changes in billing and coding by utilizing their direct channel of communication with the insurance companies
and organizations that set the guidelines.
There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for over 30 years.
