:confused:Has anyone else been getting denials on x-rays done with the bone length stating services not payable with other service rendered on the same date? Our providers do pre and post operative xrays and bone length studies and recently we have started getting denials on the xray when billed with bone length study. Please help:confused:
 
Need to append modifier 59

Hi,

You must append modifier 59 to the x-ray code.

For eg: If the physician does Bone Lenght Studies (77073) along with radiologic examination of the the right hip 4 views (73503). You should code it like this:

77073
73503-59, RT

I hope it helps.

Thank you,
