We billed these two codes together with a 51 modifier on code 23931. The insurance company paid this code but denied 23930 as incidental. Code 23930has the highest RVU and they are mutually exclusive, so we feel it should be paid as the primary procedure. We appealed the denial and they are upholding their decision. Any thoughts as to whether we should try a second level appeal for this?
