If a 2yr old comes and has fentanyl intranasal administered do you charge 99283 with 99143 ? if so do you apply a modifier -25 to the EM? I am getting a rejection.

What was the reason for the fentanyl? You need a procedure code to go with this as conscious sedation is bundled into many procedures.

The codes for conscious sedation are to be used in conjunction with a procedure. For the purpose of calming, it is part of the E&M.
