Many payers want documentation to show that the 25 modifier was used correctly, since Modifier 25 is so frequently abused.
I'd send in documentation supporting that the E/M service was significant and separately identifiable.
Is this happening on all of your Modifier 25 claims, or is there a pattern of procedures that you see it happening with?
Here's a copy of the Caresource Modifier 25 policies effective 12/1/2022:
