Whhen coding radiology for the professional component I know we use modifier 26. If this is the second code would you also use the 51? The codes are not 51 exempt and not an add-on code so I am assuming you would. But I have heard from others who say radiology codes do not use 51.
 
Radiology modifiers

Where does it say in writing that 51 is not used in radiology, it is not add add-on nor is it 51 exemp. I do not see it in the guidelines or anywhere else.
