I received a claim back for a 29822 and a 23120. According to RVU's 29822 is Line one followed by 23120.
29822 is a component of 23120 and a modifier is needed to unbundle. So when I entered my charges this is what it looked like.
29822 SG59LT
23120 SGLT
The 29822 was denied because the insurance didn't like the 59 on the first line. Is it appropriate to either
1. switch the order of the CPT codes or
2. Put the 59 modifier on the line that has no bundling issues?
Thank you,
Carmel
