Wiki 59 vs XU

[scurtis7189]

We are having a difficult time deciding when to use modifier 59 vs modifier XU in our pulmonary office.

I was hoping someone could provide a link or information about proper usage of these and when it is appropriate to use them.

Thank you for your help!

The August publication of Healthcare Business Monthly had an article on the new modifiers.
