Good morning,
My question is in regards to management options. If a provider bills 99214 with modifier 25 along with strapping and physical therapy modalities, should he receive credit for the strapping and modalities within the management options of the E/M?
My thought is that the provider is billing with modifier 25 stating that it is separate and distinct from the modalities/strapping and these should not be used to increase the MDM for the office visit. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Lori
