Depends on the payer. For some if you don't use mod -25 on the preventive they will not pay for the administration codes. We do add -25 to our preventive codes. These codes are in the E/M section of CPT so are technically evaluation and management codes.
 
Thank You

Thank you both, so now I'm not sure because because one is saying it OK to use and the other is saying no. I'd like more response regarding this issue.

we also use -25 on e/m including preventive codes. If you look under the
imm admin section of CPT, it says " if significant separately identifiable E/M
service (office, preventive med) the appropriate E/M service code should be
used in addition to vaccine" that's not a word for word quote. Anyway, the
ins co I work with have homed in on the "separately significant " part and are
using it to require -25 on E/M, since mod -25 says "significant,separate".
At least, that's what the companies tell me.

I agree with, Lisa, mfc2003 & lfuller - to use the .25 modifier.
We use the .25 on the E/M's/preventive service when immunizations are given. It is a "separately identifiable" procedure along with the preventive service.

thank you

I thank you all who responded to my question on modifier 25. I think I will start using it and see what happens.
