A patient presented in the ED with a dislocated hip. Moderate sedation (99143) was used to put the patients hip back in place. Medicare is rejecting the code stating that it is invalid. I looked the code up in the Medicare fee schedule and it has a status indicator of N which states that it is a none covered service. What do I do next? Should the charge be removed?
