Wiki removal deep neck mass

[njbrown]

My question is if a physician removes 2 deep neck masses on same side how would you bill that out as 21556 with 2 units or with modifier 51?

 

[sbenden719]

we bill ...21556 on one line
and 21556-51 on the second line

hope it helps

I would use 21556 and 21556-59.

I would use 21556 and 21556-59. Just make sure that your documentation stands on its own. you know, seperate sites... so forth
