Modifier 24 with 25

Can anyone please tell me if this is the correct way to bill this E/M visit with an ultrasound? The patient returned to our office during the post-operative period and the doctor decided to do a limited abdominal ultrasound (76705). Here is what I coded:

99213/24, 25
76705

Thanks!!

Def wont put both, and its not the 25. And it depends on what she came back for as to if you can even charge a visit.

Thanks for your response :) The patient's E/M visit during post-op period was unrelated to the surgery. My logic is to use 24 because she is coming in during a post-op period and 25 to know that 76705 is separately identifiable.

24 would be the one to append onto the E/M as long as its was not related. And for the US I would submit with out a mod and see what happens, i dont think there will be an issue with that code. And remember 24, 25 are just modifiers for the E/M codes.
