Medicare (Palmetto) added Modifier 51 to my holter monitors for January and reduced my payment by $27.25.
When I called Palmetto to find out WHY I was told it is part of the new MPPR Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction and to look up CR 7747.
When I explained that a holter monitor is not an imaging service I was told the MPPR rule still applies because the code has a professional component and a technical component.
Is anyone else having trouble with this?
I will appeal this decision, but would love to understand the logic before I do.
