This relates more to pulmonology, but does anyone know if code 94060 for bronchodilation responsiveness, pre- and post bronchodilator administration can be bill on the same visit as a nebulizer treatment, code 94640? NCCI edits seem to indicate that they can with modifier 59, but I can't find any clear guidance here. Thanks.
 
Without any specific guidance it appears that it would only be appropriate to bill 94640 if it were performed during a separate patient encounter on the same day.
