I need help with modifier. Physician performed an excision of body piercing on the left and right side of the abdomen due to infection. I am looking at the code 10120. Would I use 10120 RT and 10120LT, or 10120 with 50 modifier. My gut says to get paid use the RT and LT. The insurance is Tricare. ;)
 
Anatomic or bilateral modifiers would not apply to this code (unlike, arm or leg codes, there is no right and left subcutaneous tissue). Its MUE of 3 so it will likely be one line with 2 units or possibly 2 lines with 59 or XS on the second line.
 
Thank you. I did not think of it like that because I new my diagnosis is more detailed LT and RT. That makes more sense. ;)
