Wiki Office visit with Echo 93306 & EKG 93000

[suzannec83@hotmail.com]

Never had a problem until recently with FL Medicare submitting E/M code along with 93000 and 93306 on same DOS. Now they are asking for documentation on these claims. Should I be using a modifier 25 on the E/M code?

In Upstate NY, If the E/M service is done on the same day as an Echo, then we do add the 25 modifier.
