Ins requires modifiers. We have used 59, 51 and 58 and codes are still being denied.
1) amputation at base of proximal phalanx with complex closure modified moberg sliding v-y advancement flap
2) necrotic right foot 2nd and 4th toes amputation -
Any help would be appreciated please
thanks

What codes are being billed? Which toe was #1 done on? Why would a 58 be appended if the case was done all at the same surgical session, or was something staged/related? Phalanx (toe) codes require toe modifiers (TA, T1, etc.). What level was the amputation at for toe 2 & 4?
