Wiki 66761 and modifier?

[araybon70]

This claim has rejected with Medicare pending for a modifier. In the cpt book it does not state a modifier is needed. What specifically will tell me in the cpt that a modifier is needed?

Did you submit with anatomical modifier RT or LT? Is the patient in the global period of another procedure?

The actual code description. It states: Iridotomy/iridectomy by laser surgery (eg. for glaucoma) (per session)

When I see something like this, it tells me that I need to identify the eye the procedure was performed on.

Hope this helps!
