Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to get 24359 paid when billed with 64718? My surgeon made two separate incisions and used two different diagnosis codes for the procedures. We tried to bill the 24359 with the 59 modifier and it has come back denied (no surprise). I've tried to explain the NCCI edit to him, but he is frustrated that he cannot be reimbursed for the additional work.
