True Blue
If someone could help - A patient was admitted by one of our hospitalists and he billed an Initial Inpatient visit. Later that day, the patient became critical was transferred to ICU and the doctor billed a critical care visit, 99291. The insurance paid the critical care visit but denied the EM as only one service allowed per day. I checked the account and see that there was no modifier applied - does this need a 25 modifier and if so, which code would get the modifier?
Thanks for the help![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
