We can't bill 2 E/m codes in same day, but if it is diffrent complaints we can bill the 2nd E/M code with 25 mod.

Thanks

The facility can bill 2 E&Ms on the same day even with the same complaint. You would use the 27 modifier on the second E&M. Your rev codes will be different. You will use the 25 modifier on both E&Ms if a procedure was performed at either encounter.
