If I'm billing Medicare, How would I code these 2 services for coverage? The DX code for the cataract SX (66984) is H25.811 and for the Vit (67042) I have DX code H35.371.
Medicare denied me on this claim, I was wondering if I needed to add a modifier 51 to get paid for these services that were done on the same DOS.
