Hi everyone,
I apologize if someone already asked this (I did search but I can't find anything on it), but I was hoping to get a definite answer on this. If you are billing 95900 and 95903 on the same claim, and there is a nerve that did not get the F-wave testing so it's not included in the 95903 units, which code are you supposed to put the modifier 59 on? We've been putting it on the 95900 because it's a lower code and we have been getting paid on it, but in Carol Buck's 2010 Step-By-Step Coding book it says that it should go on the 95903. Does anyone know which is actually correct? Thanks!
