Wiki Denial - Any one experienced billing

[ZKERAWALA]

Any one experienced billing 54450 and 54164 together? I got denial from Blue Shield. They paid 54164 and denied 54450. Please advise. Thanks

54450 may not get paid without modifier -51. They won't pay without the modifier. You may have to include the report with the resubmission of 54450-51.

Good luck
