We recently getting denials with these 2 codes billed on same claim. We put the 59 modifier on 20526 (right carpal tunnel injection) and this code was paid. The 20551 (injection given for lateral epicondylitis, right elbow) was denied. Injections were given on 2 different areas, so shouldn't the 20551 be payable as well?
