A punch biopsy(11100) and cryo(17000/59) were done on Medicare patient. The punch biopsy was denied as bundled. Any suggestions?

you will need a 59 modifier IF these were two separate sites. The modifer will go on the service that is considered the component.

code 17000 and 11100-59. even though the -59 is on 11100 medicare will reduce the lower reimbursed code. per cci edits 11100 is considered the component code.
