My question is regarding code 63056 (transpedicular approach for decompression). I'm being advised that per CMS, if a surgeon does this procedure bilaterally, since the code cannot be submitted using a 50 modifier, that instead to signify a that it was done bilaterally you would add 63057. My thought would be that you would only code the 63056 as this procedure was done on one interspace, so you'd only code the 63057 if it was performed on an additional segment. Can you help me with this?
