Hey Everyone,

Can someone please help with this:

Dr. Assisted during c/sec. Twin delivery
I billed
59514-82 DX Codes: 654.20 v27.2
59414-82-22 DX Codes: 654.20 v27.2

We were paid for 59514/82 and NOT on 59514-82-22 Saying that services are included into primary Procedure.
I was Wondering if anyone knows if thats realy true or not????

Thanks
 
Modifier -22 is only to be reported on the primary procedure and not for an assistant. Are you a teaching facility? Is that why you are using -82?

We code our assists 59514-80 only when reporting the primary surgeon 59510-22; if coding primary 59510 and 59514-51. then we code 59514-80, 59514-80-51...but find that no one pays for the 59514-80-51, as it is considered bundled.

We code 59514-80 for the assistant surgeon. It doesn't matter how many babies were delivered when you are talking about the assistant surgeon. I agree with Lisa, -22 on the primary as well.
