Please help! I am looking at a denied claim that was submitted with 97530-59 four times. The definition of 97530 is Therapeutic activities, direct (one-on-one) patient contact by the provider (use of dynamic activities to improve functional performance), each 15 minutes. This means that the patient was seen for a total of 60 minutes.
Does this claim need a modifier at all?
Thanks!
