New client who owns CT scanner and performs studies in the office on patients. They are insisting that they can bill the code AND the code with the -26 modifier. Same physicians who own the scanner are reading the studies.
Is there something very different with Radiology that I am missing? Doesn't the code (e.g. 70480) include both the provision of the test and the reading?
If so, why would Medicare pay for both on the same date? e.g. pay for
70480 AND 70480-26
I appreciate your help - Thanks!
