I am a CPC and I do ED Coding for both facility and professional. We also work our claim edits for the patients that we code. Is it appropriate if I coded a patients record both procedure and diagnosis to have another coder get involved in that chart. Example: I coded out a 99282 and the patient also had a chest x-ray done which would require a 25 modifier to be added to the 99282. Is it appropriate for another coder to add the 25 to the procedure code I assigned. I don't think it is and I don't want to risk my certification if someone steps else gets involved. Is there any documentation to back up this theory?
