This is a zip file containing a text file and MS Excel spreadsheet with two columns of CPT Codes.
How This Works
Column 1 shows the CPT Code 95992 Canalith repositioning procedure and Column 2 shows other services you may be providing on the same date of service.
If a 1 exists in the 6th column then the coding pair is eligible for the addition of a 59 modifier.
For example, if a physical therapist bills CPT Code 95992 and CPT Code 97110 on the same date of service without adding the 59 modifier to the CPT Code 97110 line item then CPT Code 95992 would pay but CPT Code 97110 would not pay.
Coding Pairs Eligible for the 59 Modifier when billed on the same date of service.
