post op/ new stent ?

Is there any way to get these two codes paid together I tried modifier 58 and it was denied.

It is hard to tell without the documentation.

Is it a post-op period ?
Is a NEW stent inserted ?
If yes, you cannot bill for the stent removal 52310 because it must be done as a separate procedure. CCI bundles 52310 into the primary px 52353.

I'd assign 52353-58 + 52332-58 (following CMS cci edits).

Still need the documentation to give you a correct answer.
