#modifier 25

Modifier -25 for Manipulative Treatment Chiropractors who provide manipulative treatment can attach modifier -25 only when there is a new problem related to the work injury or a significant exacerbation of an existing work-related problem. These events must be documented in detail. Contact us today for a free consultation: https://goo.gl/jJaAf7

Most Common Modifier in Dermatology Billing Dermatologists use modifier -25 more than physicians of any other specialty, and in recent years, more than 50 percent of dermatology evaluation and management (E/M) visits have been appended with this modifier.

Modifier 25 (significant, separately identifiable evaluation and management service by the same physician or other qualified health care professional on the same day of the procedure or other service)is used very frequently to justify a separate payment for E/M visits done with procedures. However, one of the major payers has indicated that they will not make payment for these services. 

If you are reporting “smoking cessation” counseling (99406-99407) with E/M code, consider using modifier 25 on the E/M.
