Good morning,
I am billing cpt #45331 and 45341 for one patient on the same visit. Should a modifer be used to bundle these two codes together?
Thanks!!
 
Modifier 59 does not bundle codes together, it unbundles codes. According to NCCI edits these codes may be used together without a modifier, but Thomas is correct, there's no way to tell if this is appropriate without reviewing the op note.
