Hello everybody,
I am not an experienced coder and I need clarification on where to place the modifier 25. If a patient comes in for an E/M service and we do an additional service does the modifier go on the E/M visit or the addtional service (an EKG or an injection, etc.)? I thought it was on the addtional service but from other posts I've read it looks as though it is being placed on the e/m visit. Im confused! Obviously! I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks a bunch in advance.
