Patient had the following performed: Clipping of left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysm with titanium clip two months ago.
Patient then presented to ER for Laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This procedure was performed by a different Physician not associated in anyway with the first physician or procedure. Do I need a modifier to bill for the Laparoscopic cholecystectomy ?
I thought -79 but that says same physician ???
Thanks!
