My doctor did surgery on this gentlemen in May. In July the patient was back in the hospital and we did a consult. I billed 99222 for the consult but Medicare denied stating this is included in the pre-post operative period.
Do I have to use a modifier on the consult in order to get paid by Medicare?
I appreciate the help.
