Wiki 64483 and 62311 HELP!!

[EricaWildinger]

Hi!
I have a doctor here that does a lot of injections. I don't know when it's appropriate to to bill 64483 and 62311 together. I understand that 64483 is considered to be a component of 62311, but it's modifiable. Under what circumstances should you modify? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would work with the physician to consider performing at separate encounters on separate days. Without writing NCCI it is hard to say if it is separate levels/anatomical area or separate patient encounters on the same day. You can even fax the question as you posted it, They would respond and you would have an official answer

Why don't you sign up for the trial AAPC coder on this website. It has a CCI function that would be beneficial.
