I need some help. I have an encounter with an est pt office visit for follow up bilateral shoulder tendonitis. Patient also has a new complaint of left knee pain. The doctor discusses treatment option for all three problems. The patient agrees to have injections done during this visit. So I would bill an office visit with modifier 25, 20610-lt for the left knee, and now for my dilemma, for the shoulder injections would I code 20610-59-rt and 20610-59-51-lt? Our system does not recognize modifer 50 so I have to use rt and lt. If this is wrong please let me know how this would be coded.
Thanks
