I have two questions: This is Humana insurance
1.) 61886 - insertion or replacement of cranial neurostimularor pulse with connection to 2 or more electrode arrays - Provider did bilateral - modifier 50 is not allowed unable to find any coding guidlines.
a.) coding - 61886 (LT)
61886 (RT)
or
61886 (LT)
61886 (59,RT)
2,) 61867 and 61868 - Humana paid 61867 but 61868 is done bilateral
a.) coding - 61868 (LT)
61868 (RT)
or
61868 (LT)
61868 (59,RT)

Any help would be great or any documentation regarding this.

thanks
 
61886 is for the placement of a pulse generator - as you're describing it, if it was done bilaterally, then two pulse generators were placed, one on each side. Is that correct, or is it one generator with connection to bilateral arrays? It's a little hard to advise without seeing the operative note - are you able to post it?
