I have billed 31622 with and without a modifier and billed with other procedures done on the same day, such as 31624 or 31625 ect. Medicare is saying the 31622 is not payable, it is bundled. Any suggestions or advice???

31622 is diagnostic and listed as a separate procedure.

Separate procedures should be billed alone.

If anything else was performed during the bronchoscopy you would bill for the corresponding code. The diagnostic bronchoscopy is included in any other brochoscopy code and should not be billed separately.
