Our office bills out 93228 for every 30 day review and interpretation with report. We have been adding a 26 modifier but are getting rejections. Is a modifier required?
Thank you

93228 is the professional component, therefore you would not use the 26 Modifier. Please keep in mind Telemetry is not covered by many payers and frequently requires Authorization.
