Modifier 25: Where, When, and How to Use It Correctly
As if buried in shifting sands like a booby trap, Modifier 25 is poised to wreak havoc on claims when it’s appended incorrectly to an evaluation and management (E&M) charge – typically to indicate a separate service on the same date of service.
So, what’s a provider to do? When is it actually appropriate to append Modifier 25?
How do providers indicate that there was a significant yet separately identifiable E&M service that went above and beyond the typical pre- and post-work associated with the applicable procedure?
And how can providers avoid a possible audit by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG)?
In response to these and other questions, ICD10monitor and Talk Ten Tuesday have invited Leonta Williams, AAPC Director of Education, to serve as the broadcast’s next special guest.
The live broadcast will also feature these other recognizable segments:
• Coding Report: Laurie Johnson, senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, will report on the latest coding news.
• News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent and regulatory expert, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.
• Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the social determinants of health (SDoH).
• TalkBack: Erica Remer, MD, founder and president of Erica Remer, MD, Inc., and Talk Ten Tuesdays co-host, will report on a subject that has caught her attention during her popular segment.
