Ok, here's the thing. I am coding a chart and according to the Clean Claim Connection, I can only bill the E/M because x-rays, lab tests, EKG's etc, are not separately reimbursable. Is this correct or do I need to code the separate procedures and add modifier 26 to the x-rays and 51 for the multiple procedures, such as a x-ray, strep test done on the same ER visit? This is a critical care chart (99293) and the Clean Claim Connection is telling me that all I can bill for is the 99293, but in addition to the 99293 I have 71010, 99090, 85025, 80048, 81000 and 84484.
