I am new to coding so I need all the help I can get. I am currently working at a family clinic and I asked one of the Dr.'s about an office visit. I was under the impression that if the Dr. did, let's say a skin tag removal, lesion destruction or sutures they could bill an OV with modifier -25. The Dr. tells me NO you can't. Insurance won't pay even if the OV has modifier -25.
Can someone enlighten me on this? Unless I'm not reading it correctly my CPT book doesn't really go into that much detail. Is there a website or another book that would be helpful to me?
I would appreciate any help and or suggestions.
