Why is poison ivy considered an accident
I am continually fighting the CPT® coding for office services when a patient is seen for a rash which is poison ivy, oak or some other reaction and then given a shot with the E&M. The insurance wants and accident code because of the use of diagnosis 692.6. Does anyone else have this problem? What do I need to do to get my claim paid? Do I mark it as an accident? Do I use an E code?
