Wiki Eswl 50590

[bill2doc]

Physician performed ESWL 50590 in December. The procedure was performed again on 2/9/2011 along with cysto 52332. Both Feb procedures are denying as bundled. Can someone educate me please. Any mods I can use?? Thanks!

Did you attached the 59 modifier to the second procedure?

 

[cgallimore]

Why were the February procedures done? New stone(s) or retreatment of existing stones? If for new stone(s) you need to add modifier 79; if for retreatment of existing stones, add modifier 58. CPT 50590 has 90 global days.
