Can 38746 be billed when only mediastinal lymph notes are removed? There is no documentation of "regional lymph nodes" being removed. Only 4R, 10R, 11R & 7R. Is modifier 52 warranted here?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Yes, it was open and I am also billing the main procedure. Does it need modifier 52 since there was not removal of regional lymph nodes? Only mediastinal lymph nodes were removed. Thanks.
