Would it applicable to bill an 80 modifier if two co-surgeons have the same specialty since they both will not be paid with the 62 modifier?

Yes- you'd need to query the provider, explain you can't bill Co-Surgery for the case because there both of the same specialty. Then request which one they want to be Primary surgeon, and if your in a teaching hospital. You'll need a qualifying statement on why a assistant was requried.
