I do some coding for fpr offices and my understanding of the 25 mod is that it has to be seperately identifiable, my doctors will use a destruction of benign lesion code 17110 and a 99212 and put a 25 on the e&m when they are using the same dx. the pt came in for the same thing all around, isn't it right to not bill for the 99212 with the 17110 if they have the same dx?
