Our local Medicare, NGS, is looking for a modifier on a hospital Consult and obviously they won't tell us so I've got to figure it out on my own.
Anyway, patient is seen for a Hospital Consult (99253) on 10/21. He then had a Cath by a different provider the same day (93510-26). He then had a pacemaker implant on 10/22 (33208) by the same provider that did the Consult on 10/21. What modifier do you think they are looking for on the Consult? I don't think it has anything to do with the Cath, but I could be wrong as we are new to these procedures.
