    In my opinion, the 'X' modifiers weren't necessary due to the detailed
    descriptors of ICD10. Whoever created them has not come forward to be
    flogged in public.



    I would code the following:



    27096



    20610-59 (with ICD10 for dx - right hip)



    20610-59 (with ICD10 for dx - right shoulder)



    Some payers might want 20610 x 2 with both dx's.



    Hope this helps,
