The E/M service must be a distinct and separate encounter that addresses a different issue than the routine postpartum care covered by 59430.

The 25 modifier is typically added to the evaluation and management (E/M) service code that is billed separately when a procedure or service is performed on the same day.

If both codes are necessary, ensure that the documentation supports the medical necessity for each service.
