Can you code a bipsy- 58100- and endocervical curettage-57505- together? I put a 51 mod on 57505 and it was denied inclusive. What do you think?

Thank you

The code pair you listed below (57505 & 58100) generates a non-modifiable CCI edit for both the physician and facility billing; they should not be reported together. If both were performed and documented only 57505 would be reported.
 
If the codes had a CCI edit that allowed a modifier override, modifier 59 would be the one to use instead of modifier 51. The 51 modifier is informational only for multiple procedures.
