Which code gets a modifier with CPT 17110 and CPT 10060 when billed on the same day for different lesions?
 
Modifiers for what?

These aren't bundled according to the NCCI edits, so a modifer like XS (or 59) isn't needed.

Modifier 17110 will be reduced according to the multiple surgery reduction rule. You "could" add modifier 51, but most carriers don't want you to add modifier 51 and they claim edit system will add it for you and take the multiple surgery reduction correctly.

So technically no modifier is needed on a claim.
