Medicare's New Rule for Professional Service billed on Interpretation date

[april.hathaway16@yahoo.com]

A new rule went into effect in 2019 for Medicare billed physician services (Modifier 26) requiring the service to be billed on the date the imagining service was read on versus the day the exam was done. Example: x-ray performed on June 1 but the radiologist read it on June 3 so the date of service billed is June 3. We are receiving denials for duplicates and bundled because the same service may be performed again on another day, ie June 3 and read on the same day so it looks like the patient had two services on the same date when they actually didn't, just both reports were read on the same day. Has anyone found an appropriate modifier to add to avoid the bundled or duplicate denial? Thanks.
