200+ Splinter & Thorn Removal Podiatry
EDREIBELBIS:
Hello all!
My Doc just pulled me back to discuss a case we have coming in today, patient was seen yesterday and it was found that he has roughly 200+ splinters/thorns in his feet. He is coming back in today for a complete forgien body removal.
Can I bill these individually for each removal? These are subcutaneous and not into the muscle so I feel that the 10120 will be the proper code to use. However, I'm no clear on billing for multiple removals. What I have found suggests that I should bill the first removal and then all subsequent w/ a 51 mod. i.e. 10120, 10120 (x10) 51
Any guidance would be helpful, it is anticipated that this will be a very long process and we want to make sure we can get reimbursed for the work.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Emily

51 modifiers are added by insurance companies when they process claims, so I wouldn't use that. If you are indicating that each FB removal is in a different site/area, you would use 59 or one of the X modifiers. Be aware that depending on the insurance, you could run into a MUE edit where they only allow so many units of 10120 to be billed on one DOS. In which case you would have to appeal with notes.
