Modifiers when cardiac cath and drug eluting stent performed

Date: Oct 8, 2012

Question:

Please do NOT include any actual patient medical records with your question. Hi Dr. Z: We are trying to determine if modifier -59 is required on CPT 93458 - LHC, when it is reported with G0290-RC & G0291-LC. This is for OPPS billing. I cannot find any documentation that it is required or should be appended to 93458, when reported togather w/G0290. There are no NCCI edits or OCE edits. Thanks for your help!!
