We are getting denial of CPT 94664 billed with 99215 for "tuft healthcare" insurance. We added 25 modifier to 99215. Then also not paid. Any advises how to make it billed.

DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE: Risks and benefits were explained to the patient and informed consent was obtained. The procedure was
done in the endoscopy suite with the assistance of Dr. X for the rendezvous procedure with a previously placed percutaneous stent and wire, which was extended transhepatic into the common bile duct and grabbed with a snare through the
sphincterotome. Cholangiogram showed a large proximal biliary stone in the area of bifurcation. A 1-cm sphincterotomy was done
and the duct was swept with 10- to 12-mm biliary balloon, with extraction of a proximal obstructive stone. At the end of the case, occlusion cholangiogram did not show any additional filling defect with a clean common bile duct otherwise.
IMPRESSION: Status post sphincterotomy and extraction of a large obstructive biliary stone."
For the above scenario what will be the CPT codes?
