Hey, just wondering if anyone else has an insight on this...I have researched and can't seem to find a definite answer....

If a doctor does a direct laryngoscopy with "multiple" biopsies, all of different areas, can you bill separately for each biopsy that was done. The definition of the code states "biopsy" and not "biopsy(s)" so I wondering if we can bill for each one that was done with a modifier 59 on each additional biopsy. Does anyone have an opinion or any insight on this?
 
Direct laryngoscopy with biopsy may only be billed once, regardless of how many biopsies are done.
