Do I need a 59 modifier for a H2014 and a H0031 the same day
Good Morning
Do I need to use a 59 modifier when billing an H2014 and an H0031 on the same day? It is also the same therapist.
Thank you,

You shouldn't, since they are different services - but some payers will deny just because there are two submissions. If they deny, you can always resubmit with the modifier.
I agree with Sarah, you shouldn't need the -59 modifier since they are not the same code.
If you submitted on separate invoices some will deny (like BCBS and B+) for same service, same day. But I've found that if I call them and detail the difference of code and/or modifiers they will send back for reprocessing and you won't have to resubmit. Good luck!
