Wiki Billing 96127 & 96160 together with an E/M

[nouwinga]

I am wondering if there is a way to get the the 96127 and 96160 paid together? I am adding the 25 mod to the e/m and 59 mod to the 96127. I can't seem to get both 96160 and 96127 to pay together. Any direction on this would be great!!!

Thank you

I usually add 59 modifier to 96160 and we get paid.

What is the difference between 96160 and 96127? My office bills the 96160 for the PHQ2/PHQ9 for adults and 96127 for children.

I work in pediatrics. I bill 96127-59 and 96160-59, both with the modifier. One is the depression screening and the other is CRAAFT. Some insurances pay, some don't.
