Hello,
I am hoping someone can clarify this for me....
Dr did a Carpal Tunnel Release (CPT 64721) and at the same time did a 25000 (for deQuervains). The edits show that 25000 is not reportable with 64721, however, they were done through separate incisions. I submitted both procedures with a -59 modifier attached to 25000, and the insurance will not pay. They paid just the CTR.
Was I incorrect in doing so? We appealed with the op note and they still won't pay anything for the 25000![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
thanks!
Debbie
