Second Review Reason to dispute incorrect reimbursement

Claims administrator incorrectly re-coded ML201 to ML103 and denied reimbursement.

Provider conducted a Comprehensive Medical-Legal Evaluation at the request of the parties. ML201-93-95 payment due: $2,216.50. In addition to payment, penalties and interest are now due.
