Hi, 

Has anyone else seen on their EOBs that Medicare (Novitas is our MAC) is re-processing claims with contrast and taking the MIPS incentive money back on the contrast codes? We just received a handful of claims from January that were re-processed with CO-144 (incentive payment) removed on the contrast CPT lines.

Now, this is not much money (literally pennies), but is this accurate? Did they make a mistake by applying the MIPS incentive to the contrast codes? 

Thanks for your help!

Sorry that came up so very small.

 

Try this link.  This is a piece there from 2/7/19 regarding incorrect MIPS payments.
