I work for a facility that frequently bills multiple, separate psychotherapy group visits per day for the same individual. For example, the patient attends a group visit at 10 am and will return later in the day for another meeting. Sometimes it's with the same facilitator and sometimes it's with a different facilitator. Medicare is paying the first visit but is denying the subsequent visit(s). We tried billing with modifiers -76, -77 & -XE but they keep denying the claims. We appealed some of the denials and the appeals were denied as well.
