Wiki Question about Modifiers.

[spharrel]

I had a question I am a new coder and this question came up on a test that I took.
What modifiers can be used when an E/M code is billed with a procedure?

E/M Modifier with Procedure

-25 indicates a seperately identifiable E/M with a procedure, it is added to the E/M code,
(99213-25). The documentation must support both services and indicate medical necessity.
