Holter and EKG on same day

Date: Feb 4, 2020

Question:

Some of our providers are doing an EKG (93005 for technical portion) on the same day as a Holter hookup (93225 for technical portion). When I run that through 3M, I get an edit that allows for a modifier if performed on the same day if appropriate. However, I cannot find any documentation of what would be the appropriate circumstances in which to bill both services on the same date.
