Coding Order and RVUs - Make Your Revenue Smarter

I have a question about the order we are billing the caths, etc~ for example if we bill 93458-26, 59 and 92928

The RVU is actually higher on 92928 since we are using the -26 modifier on the cath…

should we be reversing the order to   92928 and 93458-26,59   ?

I am asking since a few of us have been given different information on this subject

It is common practice to list the highest RVU 1st to ensure proper payment.  If it is listed second there is a risk of payer reductions occurring on the higher weighted procedure.
