I need a little help please. I have two doctors from the same group that did surgery on a pt the same day. I have to bill them on two different claims under each dr. What modifier do I use for the second surgery. The first surgery was a placement of tongs with traction and closed reduction of unstable cervical fracture. The second surgery by the other dr. was c2-3 open reduction internal fixation of type 2 hangman's fracture with a anterior cervical discectomy with fusion and plating.
Should I use a 58 (staged) or do I not use any because its the same day
