20610-RT, 20610-LT - non Medicare
20610-50 - Medicare
This should be correct

When we have to separate bilateral procedures we bill the second line with -59. We havent had any issue with that.

Typically insurance stipulates if they want bilateral procedures billed on 1 or 2 lines.
There is a Bilateral billing matrix you can obtain by googling.
