Claim #
Dear Appeals Department:
The claim was originally submitted without modifer -25. We are resubmitting this claim as a
corrected claim with modifier -25. Per CPT, Modifier -25 is used when the patient’s condition or
symptom requires Significant, Separately Identifiable Evaluation and Management Service by the
Same Physician on the Same Day of the Procedure or Other Service.
Should you need medical notes to support medical necessity, please send us your request. We are
more than happy to send you our medical records/notes.
It is my position to appeal for reconsideration on this claim. This E&M service is clearly Significant,
Separately Identifiable Evaluation and Management Service by the Same Physician on the Same Day
of the Procedure or Other Service and the physician deserves to be reimbursed for the service
she/he had rendered to your member.
Kindly see attached corrected and resubmitted claim. We anticipate reconsideration of this denial
and claim payment soon.
Thank you.
Jennifer Doe, BSc, CCS-P
