Wiki Coding 97597 and 11042 together

[gmitch02]

I need help please, Our Doctor did 2 procedures on two different site areas of the left leg, our edits say this is bundled. Any advise would be appreciated.

Bundled only for SAME site

They are bundled only if for the SAME site. Use a -59 modifier.

You might still get a denial, but appeal with procedure notes that clearly show two separate sites.

Hope that helps
