Probably not, unless you've already received a bundling/inclusive denial. It's difficult to say whether or not a service is 'not ordinarily encountered or performed on the same day' as another procedure, without knowing exactly what the 2 procedures are. I would bill without the 59 modifier (but WITH records - you'll definitely need them), and see what happens, first. The 59 modifier is likely unnecessary.

Hope that helps! ;)
