Does anybody know if this is a bilateral procedure & should be billed with RT /LT or the -50 modifier?

thanks for any imput.

Sheila, CPC
 
No, the code can not be billed as bilateral. The descriptor states "both axillae" In addition, the code carries a "0" bilateral status indicator in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule or "0=150% payment adjustment for bilateral procedures does not apply"
