59 mod
We have used the 59 mod before when more sequences were done with MRIs since it's the 72158 lumbar or the w and w/o codes that states (further sequences) but we have had a separate Dx for the original procedure when we do add the 59 to the second. This is a hard one for payment and it's like the 70553, 70553-59 for IAC's, which we also do at one of our centers. Do you have 2 separate reports for each 72141?
