Hello Michelle,
I would like to ask if CPT 99232 (sbsq hops care) goes with CPT 93501 (cadiac catheterization), should I bill with modifier 26?
Thank you,
Kristy.

Modifier 26 is used to denote the professional component of a service, for example, if a provider is reading an EKG, or an xray. If you are looking for a modifier to indicate that they hospital visit was separate and in addition to the cardiac catherization you may want to try modifier 25 which indicates separate and identifiable E&M service.

Hi,
I have one more question regarding modifier 25: when I post CPT 93306 (replace for 93307, 93320, 93325 from 2009) with office visit, should I put modifier 25 for office visit CPTs?
Thanks so much for your helps,
Kristy
