I recently submitted claims to Humana with a LHC, IVUS, and PCI. They were submitted as they always are with modifier 26,59 appended to the 93458. Today I received 4 denials from Humana. However they paid the LHC code and they are denying the intervention codes. When I called and spoke to a rep they stated that another modifier is needed on the intervention code. We have been told in the past, by Humana, that they did not recongize the modifiers LC, LD, or RC. My question is this: Are they now wanting these modifiers appended? Or are they wanting the new X modifiers particially the XS-separate organ or structure? Is anyone else having problems with this situation? I cannot find any documentation from Humana stating they want these modifers now appended. Any help or insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
