All of the coding classes explain how to code but they never explain how to bill. Does any body know, if a procedure/test is performed, and the ICD10 dx code is a lateral specific code, are the RT/LT/50 modifier still going to be required? We file claims for after cat sx for glasses, so each line for the lens', using the post cat extraction ICD10 code being eye specific, would each lens being filed, since using the Z98.41 (rt) and Z98.42 (lt) require the RT/LT modifier per line. Thanks :)

Yes, from what I seen from coding classes - although you are billing specific dx codes for laterality you also have to use the modifiers for CPT codes. Of course they will deny if they don't match - another reason not to pay.
