How to drop claims in your EMR (We only auto-generate claims for Athena clients)
1. Claims should include all CPT codes that share the same date of service - RPM and CCM codes can and should be included in the same claim when they share the same date of service (i.e. RPM Interactive Time codes 99457 and 99458 should be included in the same claim as CCM Interactive Time codes 99490 and 99439 as they will always share the same date of service - the last day of the respective calendar month)
2. In the claim, make sure to include the diagnosis code(s), the Place of Service as 11, and the number of units. Note that the number of units will always be one for every code, except 99458 and 99439. This code can be billed for up to 2 units max.
3. CCM codes require a minimum of two (2) diagnosis codes associated to CPT codes 99490 and 99439. Please note many CCM patients have many diagnosis codes being treated, you only need to include two of the codes in the claim.
