Modifiers
The Q is: 99213, 11042, 11045. Dx is 891.1. Should I put -25 to office visit and -51 to 11045, please?
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
re: Modifiers
51 is not applicable to add-on codes. These are already separate per CPT®. On the E/M, was this an office visit and a decision was made then to debride? It depends on the dictation as well and if it supports the 25 modifier. If it was in postop, that's another story. Hard to tell on limited info.
