Wiki 67917 coding help

[rkmcoder]

Scenario - Physician has turned in these codes for one operative session on left eye (ASC facility):

67917 E1 ($800)
67917 59 E2 ($800)

Question - Can 67917 be coded twice for one operative session on one eye?

Hi Richard-

MUE states only 1 per day can be billed. I would only bill 67912 with E1 and E2 modifier.
