Can modifier 76 be used with an ED E/M code if the same ER doctor saw a patient twice in the same day?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you for the information about the 76 modifier. However, I have never heard that if a patient saw the same ER doctor twice in the same day, the two visits have to be combined and only bill for one visit. Where is that documented? It seems like to me that if a patient has to come back to the ER and the doctor has to provide services both time, he should be able to charge for both visits.
