Where I work has just acquired a Hematology/Oncology office, and I have questions for anyone that is coding for this type of office. We are owned by a Hospital and we have a department that does the physician portion of the billing. On 96367 we have applied a modifier 59 and now we have been told to remove all of them is this correct? If a patient has labs, blood draw from port, and heparin flush can they be billed for the 96523? These questions have arose from the billing office on the physican side, the hospital is saying no, but the coder for the office is saying yes. Thanks for your time.
