Hi!
in this scenario would a 25 modifier be appropriate:
Patient comes in for 3 month followup. Patient is seen for numerous chronic problems, including DM, HLD, and HTN. Dr does an EKG for chest pain. is 25 modifier required on the OV for the EKG?
also, if the patient also has an AK cryo'd same day, is a 59 modifier required on the EKG, since the 25 modifier would indicate the cryo?
thanks for your help.
