Wiki Carpectomy And Radial Styloidectomy

[mandywynn]

My Doctor Performed A Proximal Row Carpectomy And A Radial Styloidectomy. The Codes Are 25215 And 25230. The Styloidectomy 25230 Is Listed As Separate Procedure. I Can Not Find Anywhere That These Two Are Bundled. Does Anyone Know If I Can File These Two Together.

They aren't bundled... Just apply the -59 modifier to 25230

since they are not bundled--then no 59 is necessary but if you are billing for a physician, then use the 51 on the second procedure.
