We use to bill following code for left heart cath with left ventriculography (diagnostic) with stent placement in a coronary artery. Medicare is denying my code 93458--59-26 for misuse of modifiers. would I not still put the modifier 59 on the LHC code?

92980-(rc)(lc)(ld)
93510
93543
93545
93555-26-59
93556-26-59
 
I have NOT been putting the -59 on anymore as there are no CCI edits for these code pairs being billed together.

I haven't had any denials so far.
