Medicare and spirometry
I am having trouble with Medicare when billing anything along with the 99213 office visit; spirometry (94010), glucose levels (82947 QW), or urinalysis (81002). The 82947 is also billed with an appropriate code for diabetes and the 81002 always with the correct code, but I am getting denials of CO-165-Referral absent or exceeded. I tried using modifier 25 with the office visit, but that is denied also. Any suggestions please?

Added the physicians name that you're billing for in the referring physician position.
