Wiki Mutually Exclusive 67040 and 67042

[terryhaney]

Hello,

Could someone please tell me if these two codes can be billed together with modifiers RT. I am working on a VE edit report and this is saying they are mutually exclusive by modifier RT would trump the edit.

I believe that code 67042 is the complete code, and 67040 is exclusive. does anyone really know if the RT is allowed for both of these codes to be billed at the same time ?

Thanks,

67040 is mutually exclusive to 67042. Modifier is allowed to bypass, but i believe that is only in the case of opposite eye.
