Billing e & m code with testing (pft, pst, ultrasound, etc) same day

We are getting denials on E & M codes now if other testing is done same day. Other than rescheduling tests to another day which will be an inconvenience to the patient, what can we do?

I attach a 25 modifier to the office visit. Never get denied.
