Can these codes be used with modifier 50? and on the same claim as 31296?
 
Per 2015 CPT Respiratory system guidelines, at beginning of endoscopy section, "Codes 31233 - 31297 are used to report unilateral procedures unless otherwise specified". I would interpret that to mean, you may use modifier 50, if the physician documentation supports it.
