Susie Jones is in the office today to see her regular physician for her 5 year well child check. She is getting ready to start school in a month and needs to have her immunizations updated. What modifier will be used with the preventative service code?

Answer: The correct answer is modifier code 25.

Explanation: CPT code modifiers (often referred to as level1 modifiers) are used to supplement information to provide extra details concerning a procedure or service provided by a physician.

Modifier code 25 is used to identify separately identifiable evaluation and management services (like child check) performed by the same physician on the same day as procedural service.
