Ok so I’m working old claims that are reaching timely filing at my office and I’m new to neurology. I have a denial saying that 52000 and 57287 are incidental but according to 3m they are not so is there any modifier that I can use to get these two codes paid also I’m wondering if the coder in our office coded wrong cause during the surgery he used a Foley catheter should that be 52005 for use of cather during the procedure and then he removed a mesh sling the 57278 abdominal approach. However my main concern is getting the claim paid. Can someone explain why they are incidental?
