Wiki Modifier RT or LT on J codes?

[michelleaapc2012]

Are modifiers required on J codes? I have read yes and no. Who knows the answer or where I can find the answer in writing?

I'm not sure where its in writing but the payer i work for we deny J codes w/ modifiers other than JW. There is no real reason for laterality to be indicated on this code, no edits to worry about.

Thank you, that's all I needed to know.
