When procedures 93642-26 and 93282-26 are performed on a patient on the same date of service, when is it appropriate to apply modifier 59 to 93282-26?
Per CCI Edits, Code 93282 is mutually exclusive with code 93642 but a modifier is allowed in order to differentiate between the services provided. Before using a modifier to unbundle a column 2 code, what clinical circumstances and documentation support overriding this edit?
Thank you!
