Hi, I'm new to coding labs and I was reviewing some charts for 2014 and noticed that modifier 59 was used on CPT code 82145 on some charges and on others 82646 was used. Theses were for urine screens. An example would be:

80152
80154
80160
80166
80182
80184
81003
82520
82542
82570
82646-59
82649
83520
83789
83887
83925
83986
83887
83925
83986
80171
80175
80299
83992
83805
82145-59
82055
82492

Sorry so long. Were the modifiers used correctly, and if so why or why not? Thanks!
