Hi, can you talk about modifier -59 a bit. I seem to be one of those that overuse it. I have gotten a few questions wrong by adding it. I have the modifier download, it is very helpful. Maybe a couple of examples of when it is appropriate to use, and when it is not, so I can see the difference. And you always have tips that are easy to remember. Thanks so much. ANSWER

Modifier - 59

Coders Replaced by Computers?

I am wondering when coders are being replaced by

computers? My doctor told me this just last week, so I am

wondering how soon this will happen. I planned to pursue a

coding career but I am wondering if it will be doable now. -

ANSWER

I am working on an A/R project and I've noticed

that BCBS is denying cpt code 36415 as

inclusive with 85025. Not sure if I'm supposed

to submit an appeal or adjusting it off as

inclusive. Please explain when you would use

36400, 36415, and 36416.

ANSWER

36415 and 85025

Intractable vs Refractory

What is the difference between Intractable and

Refractory?

ANSWER

Hi Laureen. Quick question. I came across a

hospital claim where a patient is being discharged

from a normal delivery. What I would like to poke

your brain on is, is it correct to use 650 with 99238?

There were no complications. For some reason it

does not look accurate but I don't understand if you

could please help!???! Thanks in advance.

ANSWER

Hospital Discharge
