Hi everyone,
I am preparing to take the COSC exam this coming Saturday. I took a practice exam through AAPC and I am confused on something.
One of the questions had a new patient visit and an xray on the same day. I got the question wrong because I did not append the -25 modifier on the office visit, because of the xray.
Can anyone comment on this? I have been coding Ortho for awhile and we have never added the -25 modifier on the E/M because of an xray.
There was NO other procedure done on this day.
Thanks!
