When a pt. has MRI's of the right hip and right knee done at the same session by the same provider and it's global. Which modifier would you append on the second 73721?

Many thanks!
 
Modifier 59 would define a situation of a procedure performed in a different area.

Modifier 76 is a repeat of the exact same service, hip and knee are different body areas.
 
Thank you for the clarification, it was confusing because of the different type of information I was coming across in various articles.
