Medical Necessity
I am reviewing an I&D and the note states "I did not recommend I&D, but the patient's wife insisted."
Since this doesn't appear to be medically necessary according to the provider, I am wondering if it's even billable to Medicare?
This was for a shingles outbreak and no ABN was obtained.

And without an ABN you probably will not be able to bill the patient either.
