HI, WE HAVE AN ANKLE SURGEON WHO IS BILLING FOR P/T FOR SOME OF HIS PATIENTS. MEDICARE IS DENYING FOR REQUIRED MODIFIER MISSING. THE CODES ARE: 97112,97110,97140. I LOOKED UP THE LCD POLICY ON THESE CODES AND THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT A MODIFIER AND CCI EDITS DO NOT INDICATE THAT A 59 NEEDS TO BE USED ON ANY OF THESE CODES. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH MODIFIER THEY ARE LOOKING FOR? I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INPUT.

THANK YOU:confused:
