Billing 93286 or 93287 twice

Date: Feb 26, 2015

Question:

When billing code 93286 or 93287 twice, for before and after another procedure (such as an ablation), Encoder Pro states we should bill the code x 2, but I have seen it also billed on two lines with either a -76 or -59 modifier. Which way is correct?
