Hello!
We had a patient in our office who had multiple procedures done in one day and we are stumped on how to code this. We are billing this patient for a preventive visit, e/m, and 2 procedures.
This is what we are billing:
99396 - Preventive established patient 40-64 yo
99214, 25 - E/M established patient; significantly separately identifiable E/M service by same physician on same day
58301, 59 - IUD removal ; distinct procedural service
87880 - rapid strep
Should there also be a modifier on rapid strep? I have read to not use modifier 59 multiple times on a claim. In what instances is modifier 99 used? Would it be appropriate in this situation???? Confused on this one
Any help would be appreciated!
