Is there any way to bill for a CMP (80053) and a renal function panel (80069) that are run on the same date of service, but at different times? Can you separate out the renal panel tests and add -91 modifiers to show they are repeat labs? We see this edit pretty often, and it doesn't seem right to have to adjust off the renal panel when it was done several hours after the CMP.

Thanks for any advice you can give!

billing 80069 with 80053

Hi Tracy,
There is no modifier that will allow you to bill these together -
The only way you can bill the 80053 with 80069 on the same DOS you will need to correct the 80069 and change it to the 82248 to bill it with the 80053.
