Hello: We have received a claim (ASC) each month since June billing for 50590 x 3.
2 separate Op Reports were provided for the same dos.
1st Op report shows procedure
**Left extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of left ureteral stone
**Left extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of left renal stone
2nd Op report shows procedure
**Right extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy of left ureteral stone
Per my call with the MD each procedure was done in different anatomical areas so each code can be billed separately.
Can anyone tell me if this is a correct statement? Thank you inadvance...
