I bill for a Urology practice and the doctor had to administer a steroid injection during the patients surgery. The hospital billed for the drug but our claim is getting denied for the injection even though our doctor administered the injection. They will not accept any modifiers. I can't find any policy or anything indicating we can't bill for the administration of the injection. Any help is great appreciated!
 
You don't say what codes you're billing, however, if the injection is indeed during surgery, it will bundle with the primary procedure and no modifier will override that. It's simply included in the primary procedure code.
