Hi
Has any body worked with federal worker compensation ?
I have couple of patients with work comp injury , going through US deptt of labor. When I scheduled those patients for procedure at Ambulatory surgical center, my billing company told me I can’t do them in ASC as US Dept of labor won’t pay for ASC ? Also I can’t bill her commercial insurance as it is active WC case! Any thoughts?
 
In Florida they pay pretty well. One of the better payors in town. We do everything in the office though.
 
I have two patients with US Dept labor (postal service) and get paid at ASC for each.
 
We have DOL and they are a major PITA!!
I told my work comp person today that I do not want to see anymore. They always come back with some weird requests or want more and more letters. They routinely deny everything that I recommend.
 
Were the procedure done in ASC?

Yes; I don’t have in office fluoro though so I don’t know if they take it into account that I can’t do it another way.
