Status N Indicator for 93287

Date: Oct 1, 2019

Question:

We billed out 93287 on a UB and we are receiving an edit stating: "This claim has only incidental services reported. Per the CMS Addendum B table, the HCPCS codes present are either a Status Indicator N or other non-payable Status Indicators. Claim must contain at least one payable HCPCS." This is the only charge on the claim and the first time we have ever received this edit.
