Wiki Reporting multiple muscle flaps to Medicare

[ljones88]

Hi all,

How are y'all reporting 15734 to Medicare? The patient underwent two 15734. I reported it on one line with 2 units. Medicare is denying for exceeding the units although MUEs allow up to 4 units. Should I report it on two lines with a m59, m51, or m76 on the second line or no modifier at all?

We bill it on two lines with a 59 modifier on the second line.
