For electronic claims, Medicare does not see the description of the cpt codes. One of the MicroMD reps said the issue is with the clearinghouse not capturing from Micromd. The only work around that has been given is time consuming, manual data entry. The rep said we must type the description manually put into the "red book". This is not realistic, as our volume is at least 1500 line items per month. This is a deficiency with MicroMD, that other practice management systems do not face. We are recommending that the descriptor for the CPT transmit to Medicare electronically.
