I have a physician that performs a thoracoscopy with wedge resection of lung, single or multiple (32657 with a modifier 58), wait for pathology and if warranted immediately perform a 32663 (lobectomy). I have two questions:
1. Is the physician coding this correctly?
32663 and 32657,58
2. Has anyone received any RAC audits for the use of these two codes together?
Thanks,
