Newbie Needs Assistance

Hi All

I’m trying to assist a family member’s family medical practice. I’ve signed up for the CPB course thru AAPC that starts in November. In the meantime, I was wondering if someone could assist me with the below.

67 yo female presents to the office for labs. Wants the flu vaccine.

Billing for . . .
99214 office visit
90472 immunization admin
96372 therapeutic prophylactic injection
1033F tobacco non-smoker (I know this isn’t covered)
4035F Influenza immunization recommended (probably not covered)
3008F BMI (not covered)
I think the Fs are for reporting purposes from what I’ve found.

When I submit the above, I get the following . . .

Code 99214 is a component of code 90472 but a modifier is allowed on 99214
Code 99214 is a component of code 96372 but a modified is allowed on 99214
The procedure code 90472 is defined as an add-on code
The procedure code 90472 is invalid or requires a parent that is not on the claim

I’m unsure when to add modifiers like 25, 59, QW, etc. When I add 25 modifier to 99214 I get
The procedure code 90472 is defined as an add-on code.
The procedure code 90472 is invalid or requires a parent that is not on the claim.

Any assistance anyone could give would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Another Question for Newbie

I am trying to bill for the following:

99214
1033F
3008F
90472

When I try, I get the following message.

Code 99214 is a component of code 96372 but a modifier is allowed on 99214.
Code 99214 is a component of code 90472 but a modifier is allowed on 99214.
The Procedure Code (90472) is defined as an add-on code.
The Procedure Code (90472) is invalid or requires a parent that is not on the claim.

The patient is 78 so I’m not sure what the 4th line means.

Can someone please tell me how to resolve this? Again I am new and will be starting my training with AAPC November 2018.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Hi everyone. My name is Lisa and I just finished a coding class and am getting ready to take the certification exam which I am excited but nervous. I live near Palm Springs Cali, and I was wondering if there are any members or chapters around here. I saw one talked about on another forum, so I hope to hear from them. Any and all advice is most welcome! Thanks a bunch for all your time and help!
