I am looking for more clarity on this modifier. I have been told that I take it to literally and even though is says unrelated it actually means "outside of what is typical post op care". I have never heard this before and can't find anything to support it.

These are a few of the documents that I refer to. If anyone has anything else that supports either way I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
