If the patient is being seen for a preventive visit (99396) but the physician also addresses medical issues and is billing for an ov e/m (99213) and performs a cerumen removal (69210), would a 25 modifier go on both the e/m and preventive or just the ov e/m? We dont run into this very often but I had put the 25 on the 99213 but Cigna denied saying it was bundled into the 99396. It seems like overuse of the 25 modifier if I were to put it on the 99396 too.
