We billed patient for 82550 with 2 units and 82553 with 2 units. We are getting denied stating the max units is 3 when billed together (From Humana Gold). Does anyone have any insight on this that can help me?

Our coders are not appending any modifiers to either of these charges. Would a modifier -91 be appropriate if they are not repeating the exact same test but running these at the same time?
