We have a new physician at our orthopedic practice. With his unicompartmental knee replacements (27446) he also does a patelloplasty (27437). Per CCI edits I add a 51 modifier, however we have been getting A TON of denials back on these; almost all of them. I've tried switching the 51 to a 59 and rebilling, and some are getting paid. Does anyone have any suggestions or explanations that would help me to better understand this code combo and modifiers?
Thanks for the help!
