My provider performed a 20694 (removal of external fixation device, requiring general anesthesia) during the GSP of the previous arthroscopic procedure, and Medicare denied for being performed within the GSP. I'm trying to decide which modifier to use in this case. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Mod 58 would indicate this is a procedure that was planned in advance, your surgeon knew the ex fix would be removed.
