Need modifier

Hello, I received denial from MCR for procedures 15340, G0440, 15341 and used diagnosis 707.14. Denied reason " the procedure code is inconsisten with the modifer used or a required modifier is missing". so we tried with modifier 51 for procedure G0440, 15340 mod 59, 15341 mod 59, but again we get denied as above reason. Cany any help would be greatly apprectiated thank you..............
