My question is: If a claim is missing mod 25, but it clearly needs it, can the office staff/billing company place a modifier 25 on a claim, or do we have to ask the provider to put this on the claim?
The visit summary indicates there were two separate reasons for the visit, hence the need for the 25. Need clarity on this please. Thanks in advance.
 
You will have to ask your employer how they would like you to handle these things.

Some employers want their coders to run everything through the providers and some allow their coders to add necessary modifiers.
