Dr. billed a 99213 with M17.11, M17.12, M25.561, M25.562. It was denied, use Bilateral code. Sent it back M17.0, M25.561, M25.562 as there is not a bilateral knee pain code and was denied again for same reason. Should I just remove the knee pain diagnosis codes all together? Is it implied with M17.0 and not needed? When I called BC, she told me to add a Bilateral modifier to 99213?!?!?! Did I miss an update? Is that a thing now? I cannot do that.
