Can someone help shine some light on billing for this test. I am running into some confusion on it. I have found different links saying if the test is done for A & B, then we can use a 59 modifier while some say use the 91. I have even found information saying we can do it on one line as 2 units. We are billing for the physician doing the test in the office, not the lab. Any thoughts and feed back would be most helpful. Links I have found are not really current.

I have this link that is current:

then these as well:

Thanks for you help :)

With Humana you have to bill on two separate lines with mod 91 on the second line. All other insurances you can bill on one line with unit of 2 and mod 91 This is how we bill at our family practice office and receive payment.

Hello, May I ask what insurance is paying this? . The 91 modifier Means "repeat procedure" which would not apply because you are billing for test A and B which are separate test.
