“I documented a women’s size 10.5 shoe measurement in my Medicare note and then ordered the shoes from my diabetic shoe supplier. The supplier mailed me a pair of men’s 8.5 shoes since they are essentially the same size as a woman’s 10.5. In an audit, would Medicare have a problem with the size discrepancy, since I have to document that I dispensed a men’s 8.5 rather than the originally fitted women’s 10.5?”
“I had a patient call me worried about a possible diabetic foot infection. The patient has a history of below the knee amputation at the other limb and was panicked about the potential loss of limb. I worked them into the schedule that day and I am thinking about coding CPT 99058 in addition to the E/M code. Can I get paid for CPT 99058 and does it matter if the potential “infection” turned out to be not infected?”
