My question is, the Provider preformed a complete ultrasound shoulder exam on the left shoulder-then proceeded with a major joint injection using US w/steroid.
Why can I not bill for the diagnostic complete US on the LT shoulder? The Provider is not reimbursed for his work on the diagnostic test?
 
Whether a modifier will help you or not is dependent upon the insurance.

We instituted a policy that diagnostic tests or office visits and treatments are done separately, on different days. So the decision to do the procedure is done on a different day than the procedure.
