Wiki Modifier 59 help

[mcandia]

I am new to derm coding and have a question about the proper use of modifier 59. For these services billed what would be the proper modifier placement.

CPT 11100
CPT 11101
CPT 17000
CPT 17003

Would a -51 modifier be added to any of the codes?

Thanks, Maria

You should use modifier -59 on 11100.
