Does anyone know where I can find a modifier cheat sheet? We are having issues with modifiers not being correctly attached to certain procedures. Example: a patient sees a therapist for mental health case management, the doctor for the med management portion, as well as an injection and venipuncture. We are applying the 25 to the E/M (doctor) visit and a 59 to the injection. Or they choose to append a modifier 59 to an injection or venipuncture when done with an E/M visit or just a therapy visit. Can someone direct me to where to find the right use of the modifier that is in "layman" terms? We have the therapists or dr putting the modifiers on when they are approving the visits, and don't always get a chance to correct until the claims are denied (most are done automatically through a clearing house).
Thank you in advance
