Modifier
The doctor saw a patient & performed a well visit, shots were also administered during the same visit. Does a modifier need to be added to the visit?
re: Modifier
No, but the diagnosis will be linked to why shots were administered.

It has been our experience in the last six months or so, that modifier 25 should be added to the exam to avoid the admin codes being bundled w/the exam. We have not had any problems billing this way.
re: Modifier
we also use a 25 mod in my practice for "shot admin" but what would you suggest with oral admin? someone suggested using a 59, do any of you do this?

Yes, CCI edits have office visits and the admin code bundled together, Modifier 25 would be used accordingly.
