EGD with multiple biopsies

Hi,

My question is I do know that this code says "multiple". But what if the biopsy was from a different sites.

The physician took a biopsy from the antrum portion of the stomach, as well as a biopsy from the GE junction near the esophagus.

So this is multiple biopsies, but it is not MULTIPLE BIOPSIES FROM THE SAME SITE.

Can I bill 43239 2 times with XS or a 59 modifier?

Please advise.

But I also did a lot of research and was unable to find anything in writing. Can you point me to someplace that has this information in writing.

Thanks,
