Claims for multiple, identical services provided to an individual patient on the same day may be denied as duplicates. To ensure correct claims processing:
- Submit multiple, identical services on the same claim
- Use the days/units field when possible to identify multiple procedures
- Indicate the time each service was performed in the appropriate documentation field for electronic claims or if submitting CMS 1500 (08-05) form add a attachment
Reminder
Use CPT Modifier 76 for multiple, identical services performed on the same date of service by the same physician.
