When billing this code for services we provide on Saturday during regularly scheduled hours, do we bill 99051 in addition to all other services provided? If no E&M was billed but other services provided can we still bill 99051? Do we use any modifiers such as (25,24,57) as we would on an E&M? If only an E&M was billed no other services would you also add 99051? What documentation is necessary.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Code 99051

According to the CPT, Codes 99050-99060 are reported in addition to an associated basic service. Typically only one code per patient encounter, however, there are special circumstances where more than one can be reported on a case by case basis.

I would say that since the definition says "in addition to basic service" you should not bill 99051 alone. Since this is already an "add on code" you should not need a modifier.

Any other thoughts out there?
