96445 Question

I had a claim yesterday billing a 96445 for this patient. According to CPT assistant our office can bill the 96445 with a 52 modifier as we don’t do the peritoneocentesis. How would we bill the 96445 if there is a primary chemo infusion also on that day, can we bill the initial infusion code with a 59 modifier so it is not bundled with the 96445? Please Help.
Also:

2nd question; if the patient is coming in for peritoneal therapy should we bill the premeds as an initial code or sequential codes.

Hope you can help with this,
Thank you!
