Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I am looking for some documentation that proves it is acceptable to use the mod -25 on a e/m when doing a ua dipstick or a throat rapid strep. For example when coding 99213 and 81002. Thanks.
 
Are you having trouble getting the labs paid? We don't use modifier 25 when billing labs with an OV - I'm not sure about any documentation stating that you can bill like that.
 
Yes, they are denied. This is the dipstick and rapid streps done in the office. I was told they need a -25, but I do not feel comfortable without documentation.
