I have a question inregards to a procedure being billed for lap choly 47562 and the surgeon also did a lysis of abdominal adhesions which we coded 44180 with modifier 59.
Medicare is denying for CO-4 and remark code M80. If the procedure is already considered a separate procdure by the CPT book then you would not need the 59 modifer and then it should be paid?
