Now, I couldn't find Aetna's E M policy, but I would be very surprised if they decided to deviate too much on that sense Possible reasons for the denial:-The patient was seen by the same provider at a previous practice, within 3 years-The patient was seen by a similar credentialed provider from the same practice (fairly common denial reason)

If you search the forums for Aetna and 69210 you'll find multiple threads reporting issues with Aetna denying 69210 with an E M billed with modifer 25 This seems to be some type of policy Aetna has instituted in the last year or so I don't think that anything has changed and Aetna is still denying the 69210 billed with an E M with modifier 25
