I have a billing question I need help with please. I have a patient who was seen in the office for a procedure but was then later admitted to the hospital by a different doctor on the same day. My procedure claim is getting denied stating a modifier is needed since the patient was considered inpatient that day. I can't use 25 since my procedure wasn't an E&M and can't use 59 since the doctor who admitted billed an E&M. What modifier would be appropriate in this situation please?
