Blue Cross increases number of procedure codes payable to podiatrists

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan is now allowing additional Current Procedural Terminology and Health Care Procedure Coding System codes to be payable to podiatrists.

We’ve made this change to align with Medicare and make it easier for podiatrists to do business with us.

Procedure codes *11400, *11401, *11402, *20606, *76882, *76942, *93922 and *93923 are within the scope of practice for a podiatrist; therefore they’re reimbursable when reported by this provider specialty.

These codes are payable based on the dates of service below:
