Can everyone please let me know you thoughts on billing IV pushes (96374) for versed and fentanyl (J2250, J3010), while billing moderate sedation (99152) with the drugs for moderate sedation being the fentanyl and versed for say a lumbar facet nerve block (64493), or lumbar RFA (64635). From what I pull with CCI edits I say no we should not apply a 59 modifier to by pass the edits but I have another saying yes we should bill with a 59. Please give me the rationale if I am wrong. Am I over looking something? Thank you for all your help it is greatly appreciated!! 5/3/2021 This is still an issue. I need back up for my case does any one else in pain management have any feed back I can add to my case?
