Code 29806 covers both anterior and posterior capsulorrhaphy. If a repair is done both anteriorly and posteriorly, it would be coded as 29806-22. The modifier 22 signifies more work than usual.
I’ve never heard that we could use a 22 mod for this- I had assumed payment for 29806 covered anterior and/or posterior repairs. I haven’t seen this advice elsewhere. Has anyone been coding it this way? What are your thoughts on this?
