Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone could help shed some light on this:
One our Physician Assistants, saw a patient in follow-up. Billed out a 99213, no other procedures done at that visit. The insurance company is UHC, so the P.A. is only billed as rendering, with a supervising physician. This is the denial we received.
"Per payor, when services are rendered by a Certified Physician's Assistant (PA-C), a modifier may be required on procedure code 99213 to denote the services were provided in collaboration with a physician.
Is there a PA modifier that should be attached to E&M codes?
Help!
Thanks
Heather
