new to ob/gyne coding. Insurance carrier is stating 64435 is bundled to 58565, is this something I can appeal with a modifier or do I need to write off?
 
According to ACOG, it is included in the procedure. NCCI column 2 Code Modifier Indicators show 'N' - following the CPT code indicates that there are no circumstances in which a modifier would be appropriate. The services represented by the code combination will not be paid separately.

58565 is not billable with 64435. you want to consider billing the primary procedure done. otherwise it will be denied.
