can 93555 & 93556 be billed w/the other codes?

Thanks,
 
Prior to 2011, per NCCI edits 93555 & 93556 were bundled into 92980. If an intervention was performed following a diagnostic cath you will need to append modifier -59 to the 93556 & 93555 codes.

Thanks,

Would you happen to have a source where this info came from. I am really interested in knowing everything I can about this specialty.

I know that they have been deleted. The claim is from 2010 and I am having difficulty determining whether or not they are bundled. I would like to have a source to reference to, just in case my manager ask.

Thank you for your input.

Since this is from 2010, 93555 & 93556 are the S&I code for coronary angio and LVgram. I would use Dr. Z's book for reference.
