I have this encounter where the provider performed 3 procedures. When I looked up the NCCI relationship, none exists, however some are telling me to use modifier 59 on code 11981 and 51 on 56605. Can I get some other opinions on how to code this? The patient is self-pay, but will likely end up with Medicaid. I don't know if NC Medicaid requires the 51 modifier or if they have it built into their system to recognize multiple procedures. Below are the procedures. How would you code it?
11981 - Nexplanon insertion - wRVU 1.14 - price $274
58100 - Endometrial biopsy - wRVU 1.21 - price $367
56605 - Vulvar biopsy - wRVU 1.10 - price $1018
11981 - Nexplanon insertion - wRVU 1.14 - price $274
58100 - Endometrial biopsy - wRVU 1.21 - price $367
56605 - Vulvar biopsy - wRVU 1.10 - price $1018
