    Bundling (NCCI): Modifier 59 used on a normally bundled code pair; the operative note must document a distinct procedural service.
  2. AI recommendationDenied2026-10-21 14:15
    The claim includes two office visit codes (99203 and 99213) with modifier 59, which are normally bundled. The clinical note [N1] indicates that both procedures were performed at the same site during the same session as part of one service. This contradicts the use of modifier 59, which is only acceptable when the record documents a distinct anatomical site or separate session. Therefore, the claim is denied with reason code CO97 for a benefit included in another service already adjudicated.
