Questions for Dr. Stern

About Your Urgent Care Center

37. I was wondering if you can give me a code to begin with to review with the Blue Cross Contracting department for payment needs for a urgent care facility that we operate.

Good to hear from you.  I am not exactly sure what code you are asking for.  Urgent care is billed as place of service -20 or place of service -11, depending on what the payor requests.  I realize that I may not be answering your actual question, so feel free to call me at 888-357-4209 to discuss further.
