I'm new to pain management coding for pain clinics. This is a general question, when coding procedure codes such as 64635 with +64636. I get an edit that a -51 or -59 modifier maybe needed. Since the 64636 is a true add on code for additional joint levels, would a modifier be required?? Or is determined by payor?? I was always told in school that with an add on code, modifiers are not required.
Thanks
