Reply #2by anon (no login)#1: 120.2 CLAIMS REVIEW AND ADJUDICATION PROCEDURES 02-02 treatment that may constitute covered care and should be reviewed by the carrier’s medical staff and developed as necessary. For purposes of applying the coverage presumption where the routine services have been rendered by a podiatrist, the carrier may deem the active care requirement met if the claim or other evidence available discloses that the patient has seen an M.D. or D.O. for treatment and/or evaluation of the complicating disease process during the 6-month period prior to the rendition of the routine-type service or had come under such care shortly after the services were furnished usually as a result of a referral. Good luck if you are audited, I can bill a bunionectomy on every patient who walks thru the door too. Medicare will pay for them, for awhile, then the running and screaming begins. LOL. #2 The FACT that podiatrists are LIMITED LICENSE practitions is what? A figment of my imagination? Or do you treat dysrythrmias and get paid for that too? #3 The FACT that we are not physicians under many instances from military to medicaid is the point. We do diagnose and treat, but we are not SEEN as physicians in many areas of our life. #4 My OPINION is that podiatry is a mistake, and that the intelligent should seek MD/DO. This is my opinion. If we are so equal, why are we having this debate? #5 Why do you assume anything about my success or failure? You really have no clue. Let me end by saying we can agree to disagree. But you still have never really addressed the true problems facing podiatry that I have mentioned. We'll let the audience decide.
