I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Master Medical and they denied my claim for an Apollo SunTouch Plus because there is no billing code for a lightbox. The only code is E1399, which is Miscellaneous Durable Medical Equipment, and BCBS won’t accept that. Prior to purchasing the lightbox, I called BCBS and they told me I would be reimbursed if I bought it through a durable medical equipment supplier. So I did that, even though it cost $100 more than the same model was at Costco for $150. No one has been able to provide me with a billing code that BCBS will accept. How were you able to get your insurance company to reimburse you?
