Scenario: DRAIN/INJ MAJOR JOINT/BURSA W/US-20611 is billed for therapeutic hip injection along with 27093-injection of contrast for hip arthrogram. Now both procedures are performed subsequently during the same encounter and are documented on one note. According to CCI Edits-20611 can be billed with 27093 with an appropriate modifier. the use of modifier 59 modifier is not warranted in this case because there is not a separate note for 1 of the procedures. What can be done to ensure both charges are reimbursed? Are there any references that gives a definitive answer on this?

these charges are for article 28-space-hospital billing

Any feedback is welcomed
