I'm being told by our financial services that we're getting denials for our ER visits based on the fact that our injections don't have 59 modifiers on them. Here's my question:

If a patient receieves an infusion of rocephin and gets a zofran ivpush, do I need to put a 59 modifier on that push?

That doesn't make sense to me that I'd have to put a 59 modifier on an add on code. Can anyone point me to some Medicare guidelines about this?
