Good Morning,
We had a patient that was scheduled for an EGD and a Colon on the same day; however physician A preformed the colonoscopy ( he is a colorectal surgeon ) and physician B preformed the EGD. The patient never left the procedure room. I was hoping that someone would be able to point me in the right direction on what modifier to use and which procedure code would get that modifier. Medicare did reject the EGD with the Modifier 79.
Thank you,
Vicky Mazza
