If a patient has Medicare and is given both the Pneumovac and the Flu Vac. You use G0008 for the flu vac and G0009 on the Pneumo administration. Does the G0008 or G0008 require a modifier?

So if I don't need to put a modifier on G0009 or G0008, how come when I call Medicare to fix the claim, they say I need a modifier? I'm so confused and bummed because our doctors aren't getting paid for a G0008 or G0009.
okay so let me give you an example so i can fully understand where you're coming from.
Example:
Medicare patient comes in for a regular office visit (99213), and is administered a Pneumovax shot (G0009). I would have to put the modifier 25 on the office visit (99213). is that what i need to do??
I too was told the same thing by Medicare - G0008 must have a modifier when billed with multiple vaccines.
G0008 = 90662
G0009 = 90732.
