Yet another 22849 question please!

Easy question I think but I’d like some confirmation!
I’ve got the identical levels part done and dusted. Can I bill for reinstrumentation (22840) or is that included? Thank you!

Well never mind! I just answered my own question on Supercoder –
Code 22849 specifies -reinsertion.- You can’t reinsert a device without having removed a previously inserted device. Therefore removal (22852) is integral to reinsertion (22849), and you should report only 22849 when the surgeon performs both at the same level.
Code 22850 is a column 2 code for 22840 , but a modifier is allowed in order to differentiate between the services provided.
*Use modifier with code 22850

This might be helpful to someone else in the future!
