Hello Everyone! 
I have a quick question, as I am seeing conflicting information. Does a new patient E/M require Modifier -25 when the patient receives an injection on the same day?
Example) New patient is evaluated, diagnosed with right knee osteoarthritis, and receives an injection (methylprednisolone) into his/ right her knee. Does the E/M code need modifier -25?
