One problem is that the billing institution may not have used the correct codes. How do you get the correct code ?????
If you can talk to medicare maybe they can tell you the problem and how you can correct the bill.
Go back to the biller and see if they have other codes they could use. Ask for their social worker for some help. They should be interested in helping you as they would like to get paid. I have been billed incorrectly and a phone call to the hospital got it corrected. I have not done this (correcting codes) so I am guessing and maybe someone else can add some facts.
