I am reviewing some of our old claims. When we perform procedures such as facet joint injections we bill 64493 (50) x 1 unit if the procedure is bilateral. The problem I am noticing is we are getting paid from all of our insurance companies as if we only performed 1 procedure. There is no extra payment for doing both sides. We have received denials from Medicare in the past for billing multiple units. So my question is… how does your practice use a 50 modifier?
We are considering billing 64493, 64493-50…. But I don't want to create denials for duplicates. Any ideas?
