Does anyone know the correct way to append modifiers for the following codes: 99214, 96372, J1040 & J1100? We have been adding modifier 25 to the E/M code for years and this has been correct, but it has now changed effective 07/01/2010 per Regence (BCBS) with the new CCI edits. Regence is paying on the injection, but denying the E/M as bundled. There is apparently a new way to code these and get paid for both, but I can't find any reference to it anywhere.
 
Just talked to Regence Provider Services...

:eek:I just talked to Regence Provider Services about this because I couldn't find any information regarding a cci edit that would cause the office visit to deny as an integral part of the service. I was told that, at least here in Washington State, that they were having an issue with their system that was just discovered and they are working on fixing the problem.
