This is what it says when I run those codes through encoder pro.
CCI Edit - Procedure [52005] on claim line 2 and component procedure [52001] on claim line 1 are unbundled. The Standard Policy Statement reads "Standards of medical / surgical practice". The use of an appropriate modifier may be allowed.
So as long as you put a 59 on the 52001, you should be good.
