I have been going over a practice test optained from AAPC. My question is as follows.
The question on the test says this,
A bilateral excision of a simple nasal polyp would be reported with code 30110. T or F
I answered the question False. The answer key says True. When you look in the CPT at the code it says "Excision, nasal polyp(s) simple. Then in paraenthasis is says to report a bilateral procedure use modifier 50.
The answer key justifies its answer of True by saying that code 30110 is a bilateral procedure.
Who is right me or the answer key. I say you need to add modifier 50 to the code to make it a bilateral procedure. ?????
