Clean Claims
Modifiers, denials & billing rules we manage
How our team keeps urgent care claims compliant — the modifiers that matter, the denials we prevent, and the guidelines we follow.
Key modifiers
- 25
Supports a distinct E/M service billed alongside a same-day minor procedure.
- 59
Separates a procedure from another service that a payer would otherwise bundle.
- 95
Indicates a visit delivered through synchronous audio-video telehealth.
- RT/LT
Marks the affected side for laterality on injury-related procedures when required.
Common denials & fixes
E/M denied as bundled into a same-day procedure.
Append modifier 25 and document a distinct, separately identifiable evaluation supporting the visit.
S9083 global code conflicts with itemized CPT lines.
Follow each payer contract on whether to bill the flat global rate or itemized services.
Place-of-service or facility-type mismatch.
Use the place-of-service code that accurately reflects the urgent-care setting.
Procedure billed without supporting detail.
Capture wound size, repair complexity, and technique in the note to justify the code selected.
Billing guidelines
- Confirm whether the payer expects the S9083 flat rate or itemized CPT reporting.
- Back every same-day E/M-plus-procedure claim with a distinct evaluation note and modifier 25.
- Assign place-of-service codes that reflect the urgent-care environment.
- Document laceration length and repair complexity to select the correct repair code.
