Description
The use of modifiers for CPT and HCPCS codes continues to challenge even the most experienced coders. This webinar steps through the modifiers approved for hospital and ambulatory surgery center use and gives common examples. With advice and references from the Medicare Claims Processing Manual and National Correct Coding Initiative Manual and tips for achieving compliance with modifier coding, you can’t afford to miss this webinar.
Objectives:
- Determine when to apply CPT and HCPCS modifiers
- Differentiate between modifiers 52, 73, and 74 for canceled/discontinued procedures
- Identify scenarios for which modifiers 59, XE, XP, XS, and XU are appropriate
- Determine when to use modifier 91 vs modifier 59
