Reconciling a contractor-priced payment for 0705T Copy link
What to check (4)
There is no national allowed amount for 0705T, so every reconciliation of this line runs against the MAC fee schedule that was in force for the date of service rather than against a national baseline.
- Compare the paid amount against the MAC fee schedule in force for the date of service; there is no national allowed amount here to reconcile against.
- Only a technical-component amount is published for this code, so a professional charge billed on it has no fee-schedule amount behind it.
- Check whether a second side was billed separately—the published RVUs already price both sides, so there is no additional amount behind that line.
- Reprice the line against the release, locality, setting, modifier and participation status that applied to the date of service before treating any difference as an underpayment.
