I am new to medical billing and coding ––duplicate CPT codes were encountered and appended modifier -59 to all codes relating laboratory services; would this be appreciate or misuse of modifier -59. All services related laboratory tests, however the test directory did have the same CPTs for many tests even though they were different distinctively different labs, employed different techniques, or varying values were obtained or reported. There are (4) diagnosis codes for the patient, should these be listed for each procedure, how should ICD-10 codes be references with multiple procedures?
Within this superbill, the only modifiers -59 used was written. Should any changes be recommended or made before saving the superbill or generating the statement?

- Would any modifier adjustments be required?
- Would modifier -91 be useful as replacement?
- Am I abusing modifier -59 since it was the only modifier used?
