There is a debate in our office about A-lines and CVP lines requiring a laterality modifier. I have not used any laterality modifiers and unable to locate any guidelines to that affect. If this is so, is there written guidelines that I am unaware of stating this to be true? Any input to this debate would be appreciated.

Thanking you in advance for helping with our debate.
 
I can't give you supported information other than when our coders have added a laterality modifier we have had denials due to the modifier.
