In addition to the E&M codes, would MDs use CPT codes 96118 and/or 96120, or should they just use a higher E&M code? Should they use modifiers?

ImPACT has found that its best to use the appropriated E&M or consult code witha -25 modifier and use CPT 96120. The -25 modifier indicates that there was work the same day that occurred in addition to the procedure (testing) performed. ImPACT does not recommend upcoding.
