I work for a Family Practice Clinic and we are having some questions regarding how to best get paid for multiple procedures our Docs perform in the office. An example would be that they excise a lesion and cryo an actinic keratosis at the same visit. Those would be like a 11400 and a 17000 both billed. Right now we attach a 25 modifier on the E/M code and attach a 59 to one of the procedures. But some people think we should attach the 59 to the code with the highest RVU and others say attach it to the lowest RVU. Truthfully, I am not even sure 59 is the right modifier to use let alone which code it should be attached too! Any help would be much appreciated, family practice docs don't make tons of money so we have to make sure we are getting paid as much as possible for each visit!
Thanks,
