Problem with reimbursement for both upper and lower extremity angiography

Date: Nov 30, 2010

Question:

What would be the correct way to enter charges for upper and lower extremity studies that are done on same day with same cpt. Medicare is dening claims if we enter both charges (upper ext study) (lower ext study) and add a 59 on 2nd charge. Should we enter charge one time and put a 2 in quanity and use modifier 59?
