Patient Receives Concurrent Services Which Are Not Work-Related
30.4.1 - Patient Receives Concurrent Services Which Are Not Work-Related
(Rev. 11550; Issued: 08-12-22; Effective: 10-13-22; Implementation:10-13-22)
Sometimes an individual receives services for a condition that is not work-related from the same
provider or physician/supplier who is furnishing services for a work-related condition. The diagnosis
may indicate a service for a preexisting condition or the provider or physician/supplier may submit a
separate bill for services indicating that the service is for a non-work-related condition. Where it is
clear that services for a non-work-related condition were rendered, the A/B MAC and the DME MAC
does not delay payment for such services even though payment for the work-related services is being
denied or delayed pending development under the WC exclusion.
