The physician performed a gastric perforation repair (CPT 43840) and a colocutaneous fistula repair (44640-- slightly higher physician payment). (this was done endoscopically, so I'll use unlisted codes, but I'm trying to ensure I have the comparator procedures correct). Would I report 44640 and then 43840 with modifier 51? I'm new to this.
