my facility (hospital) just received several RAC denials for not adding a modifier to 22525.
I know this is an add-on code and SHOULD not require a modifier.
I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there that has had these denials for not adding a modifier.
Every article I'm finding is stating not to add modifiers. I haven't been able to find anything
"official" from CMS. Can anyone provide a link to CMS for this, if there is one?
Thanks very much.
