New to pulmonary coding. Provider is billing a 94660 with a E&M for a patient seen for CPAP management and 1 other chronic condition with prescription drug management. Was told by manager that if other conditions or issues in addition to the sleep apnea was addressed the EM would be more appropriate.
Any thoughts?
 
So if the provider is doing the CPAP management AND addressing chronic conditions that are unrelated to the sleep apnea, then yes, I would code the E/M level with a modifier 25 and the 94660.
 
I know that this is long after the question was asked - but, since no one has responded, I'll just go ahead and answer it. And the proper answer is "No". CPAP managment 94660 is bundled in E&M services and cannot be unbundled with a modifier per CCI.
