Hello I have a question,
We do in house vascular ultrasounds along with E&M visit that are on the same day but on different claims. Patients are getting 2 copays one on the office visit and one on the ultrasound ( we are aware some may have a diagnostic copay on top of an OV copay). Can we get a clarification if mending a 25 modifier on the Office visit would the patient only get charge one copay, or should we put them on the same claim. We are being told by some patients that their insurances are charging them the diagnostic copay because it being sent on 2 separate claims. Confused??
Thank you
