If I am reading the CPT correctly you would use a modifier 25 for that intance.

Does anyone out there remember where the "rule" is located on billing only one E/M per day for same provider???? I have a situation where the patient presented for Consultation with three separate injuries. I need to show, in writing, that only one E/M can be billed not three....
