Wiki Asc and modifier sequence

[jenifersalamah]

When billing for an asc, does the cpt modifier (ex. -51)come before the hcpcs modifier (ex. Rt)? For example should the code be listed as 67113, -51, rt or 67113, rt, -51?

The 51 modifier is not an approved ASC modifier - unless the carrier you are billing requires a 51. If it does place the 51 then the [rt or lt]

I know this might be a bit out dated but it gives a little info on ASC mods and such... http://www.beckersasc.com/news-analysis-asc/coding-billing-reimbursement-issues/coders-guide-to-asc-and-physician-practice-modifiers.html
