Hello,
our billing department was getting denials on colonoscopy's when the patient was coming in sooner than allowable time. We were told that we should append modifier 52 when the provider mentions that the patient should come in sooner like less than a year to help the patient not get billed for the second colonoscopy when they come in.
Is that correct?
