Answer
Hi,

   I am assuming that the 84436, the 84443, & the 36415 are being bundled together.  If that is the case, I would recommend that you look at using modifier 59 which indicates:

59 Distinct Procedural Service: Under certain circumstances, the physician may need to indicate that a procedure or service was distinct or independent from other services performed on the same day.  Modifier 59 is used to identify procedures/services that are not normally
reported together, but are appropriate under the circumstances. This may represent a different session or patient encounter, different procedure or surgery, different site or organ system, separate incision/excision, separate lesion, or separate injury (or area of injury in
extensive injuries) not ordinarily encountered or performed on the same day by the same physician. However, when another already established modifier is appropriate, it should be used rather than modifier 59. Only if there is not a more descriptive modifier available, and  the use of modifier 59 best explains the circumstances, should modifier 59 be used. 

If the 59 modifier is appropriate, it may help with getting the codes processed individually.  However, if BC's policy is to never allow those codes separately, then the 59 modifier may not help.
Good luck
Michele
