We are running into problems with a new provider that wants to bill a new patient E & M code and a procedure on the same day with a 25 modifier. We do know that a history and exam are included in the procedures and question if there is enough to bill an additional E & M code. Is there anyone that knows of a specific resource that would give us more definition on this for the specialty of Podiatry.
 
What kind of procedures are you referring to? If something was found on exam and needed to be treated then it should be billable? Why did the patient come in?
