The pediatricians office I bill for uses the 99051 code for weekend or after normal business hours visits.
Now, we bill the 99051 in addition to the sick vist or well visit, but Cigna states "The procedure code represents services that are not usually performed on the same date of service, use a different surgical approach, or overlap the services of another submitted on this claim."
Other carriers seem to pay no problem... Am I missing something? Should I be billing with a modifier?
