- We have a mixed audience today of those interested in getting into the field of medical coding, those considering purchasing the Bitz Videos (or hoping to win a set today!) and those who have already purchased with more specific questions.\n In general this is what we hope to accomplish but of course any thing we do not cover feel free to email me afterwards.\n
- On a personal note I've been married for 22 years and have 4 young children who are now the light of my life.  We aimed to adopt one via foster care and ended up with 4 - so my life has completely changed and now I have much more appreciation for those moms out there going to coding school while taking care of a family and working!\n \nWho is Boyd?\n

- Laureen - note*undecided if you wanted to use this, was answered in the forum-sylvia http://codingcertification.org/forum/threads/difference-between-modifiers-and-level-ii-national-usage.256/\n\nRuth replied: Linda, Luna's suggestion to use the Free Modifier Job Aid is a good one. Also, you probably should take the time to read through CPT Appendix A where the modifiers are described, then use the Modifier Grid to remind you of where the modifier fits in. You are correct that most modifiers are either intended for E/M OR for non-E/M procedures. Only modifiers -32 (mandated services) and -52 (reduced services) may be used with both E/M and non E/M procedures.\n\nRegarding your other question: When a PT is seen in ER was assigned an E/M level and an IM was given, is it appropriate to add modifer -59 to the injection code? The answer is no, it is not appropriate. To use -59 you would need 2 non E/M procedures that are not normally reported together, and you only have one non E/M procedure (the injection). \n
