X modifier question
Date: Mar 4, 2024
Question:
For diagnostic angiograms (that meet requirements to code with interventions) we use XU on the diagnostic angiograms. For cases when it's diagnostic angiograms only, we use XS on the additional of the same code (75726, 75726-XS) for separate vascular family.
If both of these uses apply to a case, would coding 75726-XU, 75726-XU-XS be appropriate?
