I have the following situation and want to know if I need a modifier 59 on the injection administration. THE DX CODE IS 883.0, OPEN WOUND FINGER::: 12002-F9...... 99202-25......90471-59??..... 90714. So, we have a laceration repair, an office visit, and an injection. Do I need to put a modifier on the administration of the injection? thank you.

First then12002 cannot be used with a finger modifier., the immunization should not bundle with this but check the CCI edits for good measure. I am always amazed at what they bundle. If the immunization was a tetanus injection it may very well bundle to the E&M.

I forgot to mention the DX is 883.0 OPEN WOUND TO FINGER. Shouldn't we put the F9 on there?
