Can a physician bill for a radiology service eg. ultrasound 93880 with modifier 26, billing for interpretation service without the presence of the patient.
I think he/she should not since it is not a face-face visit and using modifier 26 means professional component requiring the presence of the patient. I also think that the radiologist can do this but an M.D needs a face-face visit.
Any ideas or links to verify this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
