Modifier question...

[pastafan]

I have a new billing company and recently I noticed 77003 denied by Medicare. Must a -59 modifier be added to bill with ILESI or is another modifier appropriate?

Thanks

I never use 59 modifier with ILESI and I think we get paid. I can't think of any other appropriate modifier. Tell CMS to go **** themselves... sorry just got done meeting with my accountant. Seems I get the highest AMT, new medicare tax, added capital gains taxes and on and on. Most taxes I've paid yet and made less last year. Love our administration...

you sure they didnt actually bill it as a TF?

Does anyone bill 77003-59 with all procedures, regardless of bundling? Se of our carriers want it shown that fluoro was used even if they are going to deny it.
