We have a patient that was seen in the ER and had two separate EKG's performed on same day by two different physicians (billing under same Tax ID#). We billed the second EKG with 77 modifier since it was different provider, but the insurance is telling us a 76 modifier is more appropriate since the two ER doctors are in the same group/specialty. Is there anywhere I can find supporting documentation regarding the correct modifier to use?

Thanks!
