BILATERAL PROCEDURES: BILLING CLARIFICATION
When billing for bilateral procedures performed
during the same session (unless otherwise directed in CPT), providers
are to use the -50 modifier (Bilateral procedure) with the appropriate
CPT code and place a "1" in the units field of the claim form. The site
specific modifiers 'LT' (Left side) or 'RT' (Right side) may be used on
appropriate CPT codes only when services are performed on either the
right OR the left side. Providers should not use the 'LT' and 'RT'
modifier on the same procedure code instead of the -50 modifier. For
example, during the same session it is not appropriate to use the 'RT'
and 'LT' on CPT procedure code 69436 (Tympanostomy...) when performed
bilaterally. For questions related to this clarification, please contact
Molina Medicaid Solutions Provider Services at (800)-473-2783 or
(225)-924-5040.
