Hi,
I code for a cardiologist who also does peripheral vascular procedures. This physician also works with a vascular surgeon from another group on some of these procedures together. I am amending a 62 modifier to the primary code however I am getting denials on that code/modifier combination. The rest of the claim gets paid. I am wondering if I should be adding a 80 modifier instead? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!!!
