I'm excited to be a member again!!!-
I'm working in Dermatology. It's a new world.
I'm wondering if anyone has seen any documentation or have experience with coding the following
OV- 99202 with 25 mod- totally separate e/m on the same day of procedure
with 17110 Destruction Benign Lesion with the same diagnosis (078.10 viral wort) Documentation does not support the 25 mod
One of our Physicians stated he saw somewhere that he has to charge the ov with the procedure, I've have found nothing to support that fact.
I do however feel he can charge the ov with the procedure but not with the 25 mod and when he does , the ins may deny payment. So far, the ins has pd a small portion on ov leaving pt a copay. The patient is not to happy, because they'vebeen coming in on regular basis to have destructions.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks
