Question
SPO
I had a C&P on the 7th and today I was told I need to go get x-rays done. I'm going to assume this is because the doc returned my exam with a positive arthritis diagnosis. This arthritis seems to usually be rated analogous to rheumatoid and the early stages often don't show in x-rays. Are X-rays mandatory for all arthritis claims of any type? QTC quality department said they are required to request x-rays on arthritis, but I don't know if they are differentiating types. Is there anything I can do to remind them that their manual even says Rheumatoid (and I would assume analogous condition) may not show on X-rays? I am concerned based off some VBA decisions I've read that they jump to conclusions and deny if the X-rays come back normal.
