   If the route of administration is same for both the injections, for ex. 96372 then we can code 96372 twice with a 59 modifier. But if 96372 and 96374, then we can add 59 modifier with CPT 96372. For both these CPT don't use 51 modifier.
   To further clarify you can use the CCI edit(bundling) and the fee schedule(to check if 51 applicable).
