Hi,
We have a situation going on....our cardiologist have pacemaker days. When billing the e/m w/the pacemaker check, we normally append modifier 25 to the e/m, because it is a separate and identifyable service. It seems Medicare has been paying for these type of services without the modifier 25. We've been getting payment for services with the modifier and also without the modifier. Has anyone else had anything similar?
Anyfeed back and or comments would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you.
