I have a case where the urology surgeon did an open bilateral nephrectomy, he left the adrenal glands in situ. Apparently, the patients family is donating a kidney, but the kidneys were not transplanted that day. I tried billing 50234 -50, but was given an error stating that modifier 50 is incorrect for this code. So, I was looking at 50340 -50. Any advice on the proper coding???
