wanted to clarify , that in codes where the code description already has "unilateral", mentioned in it, do we assign the modifier Lt or Rt.
Eg 69210- will we use 69210-LT if the procedure is performed on Lt ear , or will we use only 69210 ? similarly for 73502.
Thanks
 
69210

I posted the same question using modifier 50. After calling Medicare, no modifier is ok to use. The code is payable by itself.
