Hello, I have a physician who want's to use with a 52 modifier to stop bleeding during a circumcision by using silver nitrate sticks. According to the coders desk reference, it states that his is to destroy a form of exuberant or excessive healing tissue known as granulation My understanding is that this is not the code to use and that the nitrate is incidental. I appreciate your input on this before I go to the physician. Thank you! Hi Alba, I agree with you that the AgNO3 stick should not be separately reportable with in this case.
CPT Pg 71 para 4 on Involvement of nerves, blood vessels etc, states that "The repair of these associated wounds is included in the primary procedure unless it qualifies as a complex repair, in which case modifier 59 applies. Hope this helps Celeste. Messages 33 Location Marietta, Georgia Best answers 0. We bill when we cauterize an umbilical granuloma. We add a modifier 25 to the ov and link the granuloma diagnosis to the to show they are separate services.
