First time posting to this site, so bear with me.
New doctor to the practice states that a separate incision is always done for grafts (15770) when codes 69631-69646 are performed, I was always taught if it was on the same side then it could not be billed for that it was included in the 69631-69646 codes, only if it was on the opposite side, separate incision, etc.. could we bill for it with modifier 59, Has something changed ? Did I miss the boat ?
