Does anyone know how I could find the reimbursement for the new code series 98000-98015? BC/BS just says % of charge and with UHC, it depends on the patient. I've requested our fee schedule from Cigna, but it could take up to 10 days, and of course Medicare doesn't have it because they don't recognize these codes. I'm trying to add them to our system and I have no idea what to charge.

I know you already came up with an answer, but did want to make you aware that discussion to determine charges is something that is actually prohibited. And allowables (except for Medicare/Medicaid) are determined by your insurance contracts. So my allowable for 98000 by a particular payor is not necessarily your allowable for the same carrier.
