Hello, still getting my feel of billing. When billing 96127 and 99215 for the same day, should there be a modifier used?

We always use modifier 25 on the E/M code as well.

You need only -25 on the E&M. I would not recommend using -59. Overuse can cause an audit. -59 is when you have more than one procedure; an E&M is not considered a procedure.
