I Bill and code for a Surgical practice that specializes in Digestive,Colo-rectal and Neurosurgery and I am perplexed regarding the coding of Myocutaneous Flap of the abdomen and the use of the terms: "Bilateral",LT & RT and the modifier 50.
We are getting denials for using the modifier 50 and/or using LT and RT for abdominal procedures on either side of the trunk. It looks like the Surgeons
can only get paid for one procedure even though it technically is on both sides of the abdomen. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
