Hi Guest!

Great question. Based on what you described below.... "denied the 95851 because it wasn't done as a separate procedure from the office visit" - this leads me to believe the insurer may be looking for the 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

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions!

I had a patient(a claims representative for BCBSNC)call regarding their claim. They(BCBSNC) denied the 95851 because it wasn't done as a separate procedure from the office visit. The patient was told we just need to add a modifier. What modifier can I add? It wasn't done as a separate visit. I would think any modifier would still be denied since it wasn't done at a separate time. Anyone have suggestions?
