Good afternoon.
Can anyone help with an issue I'm having? Female patient(s) in a global period for a mastectomy and about a month later presents for placement of a chemo-port (36561) with fluoroscopy (77001) to verify placement. The appropriate modifier is being appended to the 36561 and the -26 modifier is appended to 77001. The question is, does the 77001 need to have any modifier other than the -26 or -TC while in the global period? Our EHR/PM program is firing an edit stating a modifier is necessary within the global period and the only acceptable modifiers are 79,58,24,78. I have not been able to locate any information to support using one of these 4 modifiers with the fluoroscopy code.
Thank you in advance.
