During a normal follow-up at the PCP the doctor orders that the patient have and EKG and CXR at the end of the visit. There is no medical necessity for either procedure and no supporting Dx's. Would I still use modifier 25? I'm a little confused because I don't think they are "significant procedures" since there is no diagnoses to support them..
