OK, So I have been reading through some of the modifier 50 threads, and while they somewhat answer my question, they don't quite do it.
Scenario:
Biller posted charges for unlisted foot surgery (28899 x1) and then again for the what should have been for the assistant surgeon (28899.50 x1).
I know that this is all wrong! It should really be (28899.50) and then (28899.50.80).
My question is this.... should it be billed at 1 unit each or 2 units each? Because it is an unlisted code, I can't seem to find a bilateral indicator.
Help!! Lisa
