Wiki Modifier 59 and CPT "use with" rules

[kelly.peplinski@risingms.com]

I have a provider billing codes 64450 and 77002-59 and am being told that 77002 should be payable since it was billed with a -59 modifier. 77002 does not include 64450 in the "use in conjunction with" code list, so I am thinking it is not an allowable code. Which is correct in this scenario?

Correct, Its only a valid add-on code to those listed as "use in conjunction with"
