Can 76000-26 be billed with orthopaedic surgical procedures, even if bundled, with the addition of modifier 59? The physician thinks that since it is for the interpretation of the fluoro and not the actual procedure, his portion should pay separately. He feels the hospital is billing for the technical component and that is the portion which would be included in the surgical procedures. I don't agree, however, I can not find anything in "black and white" that specifically states it can or can not be billed (and paid!).
I would appreciate ANY feedback.
