Hi, I was wondering when a cardiac diagnostic is performed on the same day as a procedure can you apply modifier 59 to it? Also can they both be billed separately?

Can you provide an example or code combinations that you have questions about?

Generally it is geared towards the Cardiac Catherization group starting from 93501-93533.

If you are talking about an intervention being done in the same sitting as the diagnostic exam, yes it can be billed at the same time.
