I searched the CPTs for 62 modifier in EncoderPro and it showed a very long list of CPTs (around 2567 codes) !!
Check indicators for mod 62 in Medicare's National Physician Fee Schedule
This indicator identifies services for which two surgeons, of different specialties, may be paid.
0 Co-surgeons not permitted for this procedure.
1 Co-surgeons could be paid, but documentation is required to support the
medical necessity of two surgeons for the procedure.
2 Co-surgeons permitted. No documentation is required if the two specialty
requirement is met.
9 Concept does not apply
