If the doctor provides treatment of wound (12021) on four separate wounds how is this coded? Would modifier 51 apply here?
12021
12021-51
12021-51 etc.
also I would like to know if it is ever acceptable to code one line with multiple quantities with modifier 51 appended. like this
12021 x 4- 51
I disagreed with another biller earlier saying that I don't think that is appropriate but I just want to make sure that I understand fully.
thanks for your help
