Good morning,
A pt had an intubation at 9am which was billed 31500 and had a 2nd procedure done later the same day. Modifier -59 was billed out on the 2nd procedure on the same day. My understanding is that because the pt did have 2 procedures this day modifier -59 was used correctly to notify the insurance. Would you agree?
Thank you!;)
