Hi,
I am inquiring on a modifier for behavioral screenings. The cpt code is 96127. I have been billed these codes with wellness codes 99391-99393 with a 25 modifier attached to the wellness visit, and a 59 to the screening visit. Normally, I would attach only a 25 modifier to the wellness, but I read that you should also bill a 59 modifier to the screening visit? Would this be correct?
Thanks!
