sending the CPT description for unclassified CPT codes

sending the CPT description for unclassified CPT codes
When sending an unclassified CPT such as J3301, a common rejection is due to not sending the CPT description. Medisoft will send the Description or the NDC, not both. So to send the CPT description make sure no NDC is entered. If you remove the NDC from the CPT in List>procedure/Payment/Adjustments it will not default to new transactions.

 

 

If the transaction was already created you need to remove it from the transaction in the Transaction Entry screen. In Transaction Entry, click on Details to open the Transaction Details screen.

Then remove all the NDC information from this screen. This will allow the CPT description to be sent. Keep in mind if you do not remove the NDC from the CPT in List>Procedure/Payment/Adjustments screen it will continue to default to new transactions.

Select EDI:Unclassified procedure description in the drop down and enter the description here. This will override it sending the description from the CPT code. You still need to be sure no NDC information is entered.
