Wiki 52 modifier with time codes - Hello. I'd like to know

[yelena65]

Hello. I'd like to know if anyone uses CPT codes 97110 or 97140 with 52 modifier when service performed less than 8 min. I know you can't bill for Medicare, but what about non-medicare patients?
Can we bill 97110-52 or 97140-52?

I have never heard of this being allowed for anyone, if the service is less than 8 minutes it is non billable.

Thanks Debra.
Per ChiroCode reference book it's billable as well as per a few other sources I found online. Trying to get as many opinions as I can on this.
