Wiki The new "x" modifiers in cardiology

[lcaskew1]

Which of the new X modifiers that are replacing modifier 59 would apply to a doctor doing a heart catheterization and stent placement. We used to code the stent with the location modifier followed by the cath code with modifier -26-59.

i am wondering the same thing..i listened to a webinar that said we should use the xu for unusual non-overlapping service but i wasnt sure if we would add that to the 93458 or 92928 since we usually put the 59 on the 93458...
