Home Forums Discussions General Discussion R codes -- answers for billers and coders

Hi everyone,

I am back. Need help from coders and billers. I don't know why but we hardly -- like never use R codes. It seems like you could do a new WCC with its code, but if you do a separate thing like documenting an ear infection with an assessment and plan and the code you can add codes to increase your charge.

For instance, codes Payment-increasing modifiers → 22, 25, 59 if documented can bring up a better charge as long as I follow the rules?

Thanks for any input.

What do you mean by R codes?

If you do a WCC and document an ear infection, you can add 99212-4 with modifier 25. Just as long as all the documentation for the additional E&M in the encounter note.
