hello,
last year when we had a stent along with a cath we had to bill a -59 modifier with the cath and S&I codes. we never put it on the injection code 93545. however, we have some from last yr that United healtcare has denied the 93545 stating it cannot be seperately reportable.has anyone else have this issue? should we put a -59 on this procedure even though according to the CCI edits it doesnt state that we need it. if you can help in anyway that would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
