Hi, I work for a Pulmonary group and our doctors are doing bedside ultrasound (76604) using their own equipment inpatient and office and billing 76604 without any modifiers for inpatient and outpatient. However, we are getting denials from insurance companies saying we need preauthorization for these and also for the inpatient ones saying we need to add modifier -26. Can someone please help? Why do we need to use modifier -26 if we are using our own equipment?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
