Wiki LT/RT on Mammos

[dballard2004]

Please excuse my ignorance here, but I have a question regarding the use of modifers LT and RT, please....

Can these modifiers be used for mammos? For example, if the patient presented for a diagnositic mammo (unilateral) on the left breast, could you report 77055 LT? Thanks.

no need for RT/LT.

Some payers need LT/RT for 77055, also need to to append modifer to 19103, or 19102.
