I would like some help regarding the Modifier LT & RT-
coding for lap right inguinal hernia
49650/K40.90(Hernia,inguinal, right)
Do we have to add the modifier RT? Since the ICD 10 has been implemented the dx has the RT in there.
Could someone clarify this for me. Thank you Carlene![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
