Hello all!

We billed the following:
17110
11300- 51 59
11300- 51 59
11300- 51 59
11300- 51 59

MVP denied stating all the 11300's are considered incidental to or a part of primary procedure... I was wondering if i should add a modifier to the 17110?
 
It truely depends on your documentation as to whether or not they can be billed together. Also you would either not use the 51 or you use it after the 59. What dx code(s) did you link to each line.
 
We would bill the following (please note, I am not for sure if this is correct. It is the only way the billing manager lets me send it out because it's the only way it is paid)

17110
11300- 59
11300- 59 76
11300- 59 76
11300- 59 76

We rarely have a problem with that honestly. It's rare, but we have to send documentation some of the time.
