30520 with 30140-50 Reimbursement Issues

When I bill 30520 (line 1) with 30140-50 (line 2) I am having challenges with Wellmark adding a -51 modifier to 30520 and reimbursing 30140-50 as the primary procedure even though 30520 has a higher RVU.

Is anyone else out there having this problem?

Thanks,
Maren
 
Hello, I usually bill it this way:
30520 dx 470
30140-59 dx 478.0

I have not had any issues, I know there is not an edit but this is what I have learned from the insurance companies.:rolleyes:
