Yes, it will always need a modifier in the global. However, if your provider mentioned in his original op report that he planned on doing the NIPS at a later date for whatever reason because he couldn't test the device at the time of placement, you could append modifier 58 as it was a staged procedure. If there is no mention of doing it later, then 79 is correct.
