Medical cardiologist sees patient and EP doc from same group sees patient same day. Patient has medicare. Can 2 99221-99223 codes be billed on same day if different dx codes are used. would a 25 modifier be appropriate or needed for the EP consult?

You can bill the two codes but I don't believe Medicare will allow two visits from drs in the same group (billing under same EIN/Group NPI) on the same date of service. I do not believe the 25 modifier will make a difference with two 992** codes.

Medicare won't pay for more than one consult per day, I believe, even if it's done within a diff group/provider, They will pay the first one that is received.
