We recently added a dermatologist to our practice and he insisted that we can bill an office visit 99213 and excision for the same day with the same diagnosis code...I believe that's not right ...Please help
 
If it is the first time the Doctor has seen this issue we file the ov with a modifier 25 and the procedure with 59, however if the Dr has seen the patient with this issue and had the procedure scheduled then we do not include the ov and the procedure stands alone.
