Does anyone know if something has changed with codes 64635/64636. Medicare is now only paying for 1 level of 64636. All the others listed are not being paid and are being called a duplicate, but 64636 says it's for each additional joint. This just recently started happening so I'm wondering if Medicare put a limit of levels they will pay. If not, will putting modifier "59" to indicate an additional level help? Thanks for any help.
