I need help! I have a family practice provider who sees many patient's for their routine phys. The patient comes in with a huge list of acute illnesses at the same time. Then the patient's need lesion removals etc. I have added modifiers, but most of the insurance companies are not paying for the routine physical. Should I put the modifier -25 on the routine phys in stead of the office visit?
How should I code these?
Example
CPT 99395 dx V70.0
CPT 99213 -25 dx 564.00, 786.50
90658 - v04.81
90471 - v04.81
and
CPT 99397 dx v70.0
CPT 99213 -25 dx 564.00 & 786.50
CPT 17000 -59 dx 702.0
CPT 17003 dx 702.0
Once again Thank You to anyone who can help. I cannot seem to get these insurances to pay for the routine physicals.
