Hello all! We have a surgeon who is submitting the -22 modifier on every procedure they perform during the surgical encounter. Has anyone seen this? We have conflicting information - report the modifier on the primary procedure only, report the modifier on the procedure that the documentation states was the MOST difficult and why OR submit as documented with the modifier on ALL the surgical procedures performed. I have not been able to locate anything that directs how to report. Only the directive that the -22 modifier goes on a surgical procedure that has a global period of 0, 10 or 90 days. Can anyone lead me in a direction to help????
