Can someone please advise on the correct usage of a possible use modifier 59?
I work at family practice and billed an encounter as follows: This patient had a Kenolog injection as well as Bupivacaine in left shoulder.
99214- 25
C92290
J3301
20610 (injection of admin of major joint)
The 20610 was denied for NCCI edits., Column 1 and 2 codes. Would it be appropriate to add modifier 59 to 20610. Any insight for appropriate coding is appreciated.
