Medical Coding For Clinicians on Instagram: "Did you know you can bill an E/M visit + a procedure on the same day—if it’s truly separate and significant? ✅ New or worsening problem ✅ Separate assessment & plan ✅ Procedure alone doesn’t explain the visit 👉 That’s when Modifier -25 applies. Common examples: • Knee injection + HTN management • Skin biopsy + diabetes follow-up • Joint injection + new shoulder pain workup"
