True Blue
Patient came in to have a skin lesion looked at. Physician looks at it and decides to take a biopsy. Billed:
99212-25
11100
Medicare denied the 99212-25 as having an invalid modifier and also denied the biopsy 11100 as being included in another procedure.
I used the -25 modifier to show that the decision to perform 11100 was made during the office visit and since 11100 has zero global, I used -25 instead of -57 modifier.
Does anyone have any idea of why Medicare is denying this? I can't find an LCD for 11100. Thanks for your help.
