Hi- We always know where to go when we cant find the answers anywhere else & boy have I looked for this one!
The dr has seen a pt several times to remove lesions (approx once per 8 days). She is billing an E&M & 17000/17003 each time. The 17000/17003 will get pd on the first visit, but when the pt returns the following wk, mcr is considering the cpt's global to prev procedures... I dont think the 51, 59 or 76 mods are appropriate. What modifier indicates same procedure/different sites/different days?
Thanks so much!
Jen
