MODIFIER 59 with 96372

I need a written rationale to explain to my charge entry person on why a 59 modifier is not to be used with 96372.

I have looked at the NCCI and see no listing of a 59 modifier needed. The only thing is I draw a blank on how to word they "WHY".

Can someone please help me with composing the answer to "WHY" or provide the information. I do not have AAPC Coding software available to me.

I do not want audits for over-use of the 59 modifier.
