The Dr performed laryngoscopy with excision of mass from left vocal cord & biopsy of right vallecular space lesion. Can I bill 31540 & 31535-59? Or are these 2 areas considered one?

Thanks

Code 31535 is a column 2 code for 31540 , but a modifier is allowed in order to differentiate between the services provided.
*Use modifier with code 31535
Just make sure that the procedure performed qualifies for the addtional $$
