When billing 93010 and 31500 together what modifier do I need to get them both paid? Thank You!
There is an edit between these codes, which I don't understand.That's somewhat of a broad question. Have you checked the CCI edits? If there is no relationship between the codes, you need to check for a payer policy that may be bundling the services & follow the guidance they provide.
Per the NCCI manual, "Many procedures require cardiopulmonary monitoring, either by the physician performing the procedure or an anesthesia practitioner. Since these services are integral to the procedure, they are not separately reportable. Examples of these services include cardiac monitoring, pulse oximetry, and ventilation management (e.g., 93000-93010, 93040-93042, 94760, 94761, 94770)."When billing 93010 and 31500 together what modifier do I need to get them both paid? Thank You!
found this thread and it will help you out.Would the 59 modifier go on the EKG or the intubation?
