Overview:

Assigning the correct CPT code for a certain service rendered isn’t always the end of the story, as important circumstances often exist that can’t be represented by the code alone. Enter MODIFIERS. These two digit codes are often an invaluable addition to your procedural reporting. Without them, the claim could be paid at the incorrect rate, or in many cases not paid at all. But how can modifiers be applied correctly when instruction regarding their use has evolved over the years, and modifier policies by different payers vary? This webinar will provide an answer to those questions and bring your knowledge of key modifiers up-to-date.

You Will Learn:

  • When Modifiers 24, 25, and 57 may be used to bill an E/M code within a global surgical package
  • Why Modifier 51 actually does NOT tell the payer that “Multiple Surgeries” are involved
  • What situation needs to exist BEFORE you use Modifier 59
  • The unique situations that call for the 58/78/79 post-surgical modifiers
