Wiki modifier 50 or 51

[Rbroderick]

Doctor perfomed a myomectomy and a D&C 58140 and 58555.Can both or these codes be submitted if so Should a modifier 50 or 51 be appended?

first you need to check the procedure codes and make sure that they can be billed separately. In most cases, procedure codes cover multiple things. Then go from there

50 or 51

As the above person mentioned, you need to check if these two can be billed seperately or if they are bundled together. To find this information check the NCCI edits.
