I am trying to bill for procedure code 59812 along with e/m code 99213. Patient was in the office for pre-op eval due to incomplete abortion for evacuation suction D&C same day. Do I need a modifier or is this not able to be billed together???
 
Was the decision for surgery made at that office visit? If it was, then you can be paid for the visit: report with modifier 57. (I'm guessing it wasn't if it was scheduled as a pre-op visit... but just a thought!)
