OV with a Proc Coding

I'm new to this and have no certification so I would appreciate any help. If doc does a 99213 with a proc which line item goes first? The OV or the Proc?

OV with a Proc Coding

OV goes first. Be sure to add the proper modifier in order to get it paid. In most cases, this will probably be a -25 modifier, but it may vary depending on prior procedures. More information would be necessary to determine that. Hope this helps.

That's what I thought-thank you!

modifer 25 is only used if the procedure provided is attached to another diagnosis...If you are doing a procedure for the same dx as the office visit you do not use 25.
