I work with Neurosurgeons and NPPs. Our NPP assisted on a surgical case and we billed the modifer 59 before we added AS modifier ( see example line 2). Our claim was paid but now they are recouping a portion of that line item (line 2)
example:
22551 AS
22845 59 AS
22552 AS
22853x2 AS
20937 AS
Was this billed correctly with modifier 59 and then modifier AS on line 2? Please advise. Thank you
