Breast Biopsy modifier and U/S questions

I have a patient who had a breast biopsy done and is back again for re-excision during the postoperative period as the doctor did not believe he got it all. My first question is should I append a -58 to this second attempt? Secondly, is it appropriate to code CPT 76998 (ultrasound guidance; intraoperative) with the breast biopsy (19120), and if so should a modifier be used? I realize that CPT code 76998 is a component of column 1 code 19120, but I have looked on Selectcoder and it’s showing me that they can both be used with the appropriate modifier. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Billing Questions

Received the following question from a physician and would like your input as the Florida law is not specific to PA Locum tenant. Thx

Can an MD doing a locum bill under the my PA’s credentials. For example:

A locum bills under my name. On the billing form, there is actual provider and billing provider.
When Dr Sanchez works as a locum, she is the actual and the billing provider is me.

She can only do that if I DO NOT see patients on the same day.

I want my locum physician to be the actual provider, but the billing provider would be my PA.

In other words, I am working, the PA is on vacation, and the physician covers for the PA.

Healthcon 2018 follow-up questions

Hello.

Had a great time at Healthcon this year and was wondering when the audio recordings will be available and where to find them? Also, several sessions had last minute revisions to the handouts and the speakers advised updated copies would be made available. When can we expect those to be uploaded?

Thanks!!
