Modifier 59

<< < (2/2)

asbrendle:
Ok on this same note. I have to ask the following.... Say we have a patient that is coming in to be seen for lets say UTI symptoms, but has Emphysema as well so the MD orders a SO2 can we bill for the SO2 with a 59 as a separate procedure or no?

DMK:
Yes, but be sure to list the Emphysema in your diagnosis as well, or they will say "why the SO2 for a UTI?"
