Wiki ED levels

[vjefcoats]

Hi!

When we bill out ED levels for facility and profee and they happen to be the same level for both, their being kicked back as duplicates. Should I be putting a modifier on one? If so, which one facility or profee and where can I find documentation.

Thanks again for all your help!

if you are billing both on the UB (electronic equivalent) then you need to ask the payer if the prefer the profee to be billed as a 1500 (electronic equivalent) .. Some payers do prefer this rather than the use of the 981 rev code for the physician.
