Billing Two YAG Lasers Same Session
Question: Can you bill both a YAG iridotomy and a YAG capsulotomy on the same eye, when performed in the same session?
Answer: For Medicare Part B, there are no CCI bundling edits. Both services should be submitted with the eye modifier only. Be sure to correctly link the ICD-10 codes to the appropriate procedure. CPT code 66821 should be submitted on the first line as it has a higher allowable. Confirm there are no edits for commercial payers.
