Wiki 97140 with 98940 - different providers

[betsycpcp]

If a chiropractor does a manipulation (98940), and a massage therapist at the same practice does myofascial release (97140), both for the same region of the spine on the same date, can both of these be billed? I know that 97140 bundles with 98940 per CCI and normally 97140 can be paid with modifier 59 only if it's a different body part. But does it make a difference if it's done by 2 different practitioners?

Thanks,

It will bundle unless the Massage Therapist can bill under their own NPI.

I should have mentioned- the massage therapist is able to bill under their own NPI. But I was wondering if it should still be considered bundled since the MT is working under the supervision of the chiropractor at the same practice - ?
