I'm very new to the coding profession but glad to be in it.
When billing a C/S for twins (Primary) 59510-22 (global) and 2nd twin 59514-51 (C/S only) if your Physician for the assist is also with the same practice do you bill the assist the same way?
I know that the assist would be billed with the modifier 80 but should the assist on the 2nd twin be with the modifier 80-51?
