We are getting denials for a nebulizer treatment. I can't find anywhere what is the modifier I should use or how I can get his paid with a regular office visit/or can I?

If it's UHC, not only do you need -25 on the E/M but also -59 on 94640.

At our hospital Medicare is denying all 94640 b/c of the LCD/NCD diagnosis requirement. The diagnosis's listed on LCD/NCD do not include symptons such as wheezing, asthma or bronchitis. The LCD is more geared for pulmonary rehab programs. Any thoughts?
