I am relatively new to Ortho coding, and I have a chart where an arthrodesis, 22802, was performed. The doc also coded for a 95861 using modifier -26, but my encoder is telling me that 22802 is the comprehensive code of 95861. My question is, does this also include just the pro fee side of it (-26) versus the complete procedure (without modifier)?

Thanks for the help!
