Can someone please advise me on modifer 51 and 59 for billing for colonoscopy and egd on same day or two different colon techniques used. For example 45385 and 45380, would you put at 59 on the 45380? What if colon and egd, 51 on the egd? I am being told conflicting things and it keeps changing. Thank you
 
45380 is a column 2 code for 45385 not the other way around so if indicated you can place a 59 mod on 45380. our practice management software doesn't need us to put a 51 mod but if it were up to me then colo 45380 then egd 43239-51.
