Hi Guest!

No problem! You may consider modifier 51, which stands for - Multiple Procedures

This modifier is used to indicate that the same provider performed multiple procedures—other than E/M services at the same session. You should list highest fee procedure first, and append modifier 51 to the second and subsequent procedures.

Hope this helps!

The other services are 41010 and 40819.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Liz!

Great question. Based on what you described, i would have selected the same modifier!

25 - significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management [E/M] service by the same physician on the same day of the procedure or other service

What services/codes are included on the claim? That may help us determine other modifier options :)

Good Afternoon!

When billing for an office visit and procedure the same day I normally use the modifier 25 to distinguish it is a separate charge. Recently one insurance in particular is telling me there is a better modifier to use. After research I am not sure which to use. What would you recommend?

Thank you for your help!
