Lidocaine toxicity

One of my doctors does joint injections of the large joints (20610). He administers J3301, J2001, J0670 (kenallogg, marcaine, and lidocaine) in a premixed solution. The Medicare appeals line told our office that we should be adding a 59 modifier to the J2001 (lidocaine) for it to be paid. How many billing units is 3cc of 1% lidocaine HCPCS code is J2003? Thank you. The lidocaine is being give to provide some comfort from the discomfort of the kenalog. It is not therapeutic to the patient's condition. also the HCPC code for lidocaine is IV only. The Kenalog could be given without the addition of the lidocaine, it would just be extremely uncomfortable for the patient. Check out the October update to the HCPCS Level II code set.
