Does anyone know how this should be billed? If billed with an Office visit, I append the 25 modifier to the Office visit........ DENIAL.

So I read on here where someone said to add the 59 modifier to G0444.... DENIED again!

I'm getting the denial code CO-45 - The procedure code is inconsistent with the modifier used, or a required modifier is missing. When looking in AAPC Coder, it shows only 3 appropriate modifiers - 80, 81 & 82. Those are all assistant at surgery modifiers. I can't think of a single situation where they would ever apply to the depression screening.

Please HELP!! :o

Thanks.
