A patient had a preventive visit (CPT 99395) & a signficant, separately identifiable problem-oriented visit (CPT 99213-25), as well as destruction of benign lesions (CPT 17110). Coding programs (iCES) will deny the preventive E/M code as unbundled from the surgical procedure, but in my opinion, these services should be allowed separately. Would it be appropriate to report modifier -25 on BOTH the problem-oriented E/M AND preventive E/M in this kind of scenerio? Thanks!
