CPT 99406 Medicare + Modifer
« on: September 26, 2017, 06:48:55 PM »
I would like to know what modifier is used when billing CPT 99406 (smoking cessation) to Medicare. I used 25 but the claim was denied with RA message "PROCEDURE CODE IS INCONSISTENT WITH MODIFIER USED OR A REQUIRED MODIFIER IS MISSING".

Also note that on the same day we bill 90837 modifier (59) and 90853. Please help!

Thanks

Modifier 25 cannot be appended with 99406 so remove the modifier and resubmit the claim.
