A patient comes into the clinic for a preventative visit and immunizations are administered. According to the guidelines, in this case you would append modifier 25 to the preventative E/M code. In this same encounter, the provider also addresses an additional complaint and performs and additional E/M service. According to the guidelines, in this case, you report the additional E/M with modifier 25.
Here is my question....since immunizations were administered as part of the preventative visit and an addtional problem was addressed requiring an additional E/M code, do you put modifier 25 on both the preventative E/M code for the immunizations and the additional, problem-oriented E/M for the additional complaint?
Thanks.
