modifier 51

[lminneti]

I have question as to when to use modifier 51. can this modifier be used with multiple injections? a pt comes into clinic office gets two different pain meds injected so would this be good to use modifier 51 for one of the injections?

If you are billing the inject code as 96372, then modifier 51 is not an approved modifier for this code.
