Description

3 IDIQ Section Question/Clarification Needed Misc Fee Schedule and Misc. Fee Schedule N/A 1. Need to understand what VISN22 intends to do with the listing of CPTs that they said would be used for miscellaneous testing. a. There are some CPT codes missing from the Physician Fee schedule like 88305 which is related to tissue pathology and the misc code for mopath 81479 Add the additional CPT code(s) to the alternative MISC methodology for inclusion. b. A material portion of the CPT codes from the 01 file are also present on the 02 file. IF we use the 01 file to handle miscellaneous test codes, is it expected that those same rates flow over to the 02 file as well when there is a CPT code match? N/A c. How would this listing be applied if the test was related to a send out in CA? N/A Price B-OY4 80,000-90,000 Line 169 Line Item 169 DRUG TEST, GENERAL TOX Total Urine Min.
