Wiki 63650 denial by Aetna

[Blackhorse]

Our doctor bills 63685, 63650, 63650-59. Both 63650 are denied because ASC are paid for those 2 codes. Denial reason: If you are the supervising physician, please resubmit claim indicating the appropriate Anesthesia (Q) modifier.

What Q modifier Aetna is talking about?

63650 is the electrode, why we have to use Anesthesia modifier?

63650 shouldn't be denied. They aren't equipment/dme/supply codes.
