Hi! I am trying to bill two units with code 90791 which medicare does not allow and need a modifier. Does Modifier GD work with code 90791 and do I still bill it on the claim form as two units with the modifier? Thank You to anyone who is able to help me with this question or point me in the right direction to find the answer!
 
What would be your justification for billing 2 units of service on 90791? This is described as Psychiatric diagnostic evaluation. There is not a time component or any other indicator that would justify 2 units of service.
 
there is no way to up code the 90791 or the 90792. regardless of time spent it is coded at the standard fee per your fee schedule with only 1 unit. it is possible that you could add a code for interactive complexity if the note meets there criteria for the additional code.
