Wiki performing 2 seperate CT's of the upper extremity on the same day

[bethfink3@gmail.com]

Hello,
I believe that if I am to code both a right and left CT of the upper extremity performed on the same day that I could use a modifier 59 or put RT and LT on each..... is that correct.

I am coding for inpatient status in an Indiana Hospital.
