If it's treating the same stone, it would be a 58 mod for "staged procedure". Normally the physician will make the patient aware prior to the ESWL that additional treatment may be required. Hope that helps!

I agree if the physician stated in his notes that it was discuss with the patient that he/she may need additional procedure to remove the stone then mod 58 is needed. But if there is no notification that it was discuss with the patient. Use modifier 78
