What modifiers do you use when billing cpt 96372 and 90837 together?

Answer 1

When billing CPT 96372 (Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection) and 90837 (Psychotherapy, 60 minutes with patient), you should use modifier 25 on the psychotherapy code (90837) to indicate that the psychotherapy service is a separate and significant service from the injection administered on the same day. Additionally, ensure that the documentation supports the medical necessity and distinct nature of both services. It's also essential to check specific payer guidelines, as they may have additional requirements for billing these codes together.
