    Wiki Can 99222 be billed twice on the same DOS?

    DOS is 1/12/23. A psychiatrist billed 99222 for the consult he had in collaboration with an APP.. Three hours later a neurologist consulted in collaboration with her APP and also billed 99222. The neurology consult was denied. Should I just rebill it and append modifier -25 to it? Please advise.
