@mkaften I agree KUMC made some errors before the surgery even was done. It's interesting to look up some of those codes in the letter I got from the Medicare comtractor, can learn a little more about Aquablation procedures and payment procedures.
They say in the denial "that a resident under direction of a teaching procedure code 0421T-GC". I was never told I was getting a surgery under direction of a Teaching Procedure!!
Then they use this term for payment denial "Local Coverage Determination (LCD) L38682"
The whole thing was a painful mess and ended up not working and a little worse off now.
A lot to deal with as locally they do nothing but TURP. Had to travel about 90 miles to get to KUMC. Not sure what I am going to do, so much going on now with family issues and my own stuff. Might just stay on Flomax until it don't work, not what I want, but not a lot of choices.
Then now I just finished 1st cataract surgery on 2nd of Dec and things still blurry, hope that clears up. At least I know real surgeon did that procedure as I was awake.
