If two nebulizer treatments with abuteral were administered in the same visit by the same physician, would you code the second J code without a modifier? Would you list the second nebulizer code 94640 w/ 76 modifier or would you list 94640 once with a x2?

Thanks for any help!

Typicall the 76 modifier is correct, but we have had payors request the qty 2 instead. We don't bill for the abuterol, so I can't really give advice about that, but I would just change the quantity.
 
thanks 76 mod on neb and just list abuterol once with correct total units! Thanks for your help!
 
76 modifier

If I am not mistaken, the -76 can't be used for two procedures done at the same session?
