Can this code be billed with a modifier 50 for bilateral procedures?
Per the CMS RVU file, billing as bilateral with mod 50 is not appropriate. We bill 95886 on one line with 2 units for most of our payers; there are a couple that require billing on separate lines:
95886 x 1
95886 x 1 - 59
Hope this helps!
