Hi Radiology Coders
I have a question. Can you bill both an 62270 (spinal puncture) with a 62273 (injection, epidural, of blood or clot patch together. I received a denial stating that 62273 cannot be billed because it falls under standards of medical/surgical practice. The Medicare CCI edit book states it can be billed with a modifier.
Can it be billed with a modifier, if so, what modifier, and if not, can you tell me what the standard rule on this is?
Thanks so much
