My question is regarding a Robotic SIMPLE Prostatectomy. There is only one robotic CPT code for a prostatectomy in the CPT book and that code reads:

55866- Laparoscopy, surgical prostatectomy, retropubic radical, including nerve sparing, includes robotic assistance when preformed.

Since a simple prostatectomy does not include everything listed in the description of CPT code 55866, I have been adding a 52 modifier for reduced services. Is this correct or should I be billing something different? My docs are worried we are missing out on money by adding a 52 modifier.

Any input will be greatly appreciated!
