How should modifier -25 be reported with NCCI/CCI?
Modifier -25 should be appended to an evaluation and management (E/M) code when reported with another procedure on the same day of service. Appending modifier -25 to the E/M code indicates to Medicare contractors or fiscal intermediaries that as a result of the patient’s condition, the physician performed a significant, separately identifiable E/M service above and beyond the other service provided.
