Hello,
I am trying to learn how to appropriately code and what use of modifiers for multiple procedures done on the same lesion(s). The physician initially thought the lesion was a cyst and attempted an I&D with no drainage or contents. They want to bill the I&D 10060 with modifier 52 in addition to the CPT for the what ended up being a lesion injection 11900.
Do I send the claim with both CPT 10060 & 11900 with modifier 59 or apply modifier 59 and 52 to the I&D 10060?
