I have a provider billing
49505 Repair initial inguinal hernia, age 5 years or older; reducible
49585 Repair umbilical hernia, age 5 years or older; reducible
The issue of appending 59 vs 51 has come up. Why would 59 modifier be more appropriate to use in this situation than a 51?
These codes are not bundled?
Thank you
