I work for hospital. We have no problem with this code. PT is for Medicare report if a patient came in for screening and ended up with biopsy or polypectomy.Z12.11- And I know that Medicare doesn't like this code as first listed.
What are the procedure codes that you are using with modifier 33?I work in a GI clinic, and we use modifier 33 and modifier PT all of the time. I am now getting claim rejections for these modifiers, that the procedure codes we are using are inconsistent with the modifier used. How are we to let insurances know that these are preventative services?
We use all the colonoscopy/EGD CPT codes, and also E/M codes, but I have noticed that, only recently, that I am unable to use modifier 33 on E/M codes, though earlier this year, the previous biller for this office was using modifier 33 on E/M codes. I only took over billing here a few months ago, and my previous experience was with PT and Respiratory. I must be missing something.What are the procedure codes that you are using with modifier 33?
