I am currently cleaning up billing issues from the previous biller and learning billing. I am trying to understand and make sure we are doing this correctly. When we bill out for a Wellness exam with Imm. We use the Preventive codes 99391-99397, and admin code 90471 and then the immunization code. We are putting a modifier 25 on the preventive code. Is this correct? Should we be using a different modifier?
Ex :
99392(mod 25)
90471
90713
90472
90701
90715
 
A 25 modifier on the E/M is correct. Most payers have edits for preventative or E/M with administration. Make sure to watch the type of administration. There are separate administration codes for immunizations given intranasal or oral.
