Mark, Ray, and Scott had a question this week on whether or not you could use the bilateral modifier (-50) for code:
54351 - Cystourethroscopy, with ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy; diagnostic
You may be surprised at the answer!
This prompted the discussion on data and where it comes from and how we have interpreted it and summarized it in AUACodingToday.com. The interpretation and summarization help make coding more efficient.
