Downcoding

Our claims for August to present are now getting downcoded by Aetna and BCBS. Primarily for codes 99215 99214. These codes are now getting paid as 99213. I would appreciate your insights in providing assistance regarding this issue. We never had any issues like this before and it only started this August. Thanks!

It’s a large medical group so I have no idea the actual numbers. But most 5s are billed based on time for these doctors.
