Would you use a location modifier on a procedure that could be done anywhere on the body? For example: 10140: incision and drainage of hematoma. The Dr. states that it is located on the left thigh and the DX is 924.00-contusion of thigh. It seems like if it was used it would be informational only and not really required. Any thoughts? Use or not use?
