Wiki Modifier 51 or 59-I want to

[carolanntomko]

I want to report 11406 on a second lesion in a different location. It is being denied. Can I use a 59 modifier to show it is indeed a different lesion/area? Or is it better to use multiple procedure modifier 51?
Thanks

I would use a 59 if it is a different site.(Distinct procedural service)
