Hi!
Hope someone can help clarify this:
If a doctor does a cardioversion and then does a discharges on the same day, do you feel a mod 25 is appropriate to use on the discharge?
We have Ep & Cardiologist; If the Ep doctor does d/c same day as the cardioversion, I am not comfortable with adding the 25 mod since it is the same dx etc. Now if the cardiologist d/c the pt ie; chest pain, then I can see where the 25 mod could be ok to use.
You can't bill d/c on same date of service as a cath so I feel that this may be the same senerio. Does anyone know of any documention on this subject?
There are several opinions on this and I would like to feel confident about my decison before I persue this.
Thanks for any advice.
