What 5 digit after hour modifer (if any) can be billed for a surgeon who goes to the hospital on a Saturday to perform emergency surgery. The time frame is not between 10-8, so 99053 is not applicable.

Any thoughts are welcome!
 
Emergency

If the service is not provided in the office, I am not sure that there is a CPT code for you to obtain additional reimbursement for it. You can further review the Miscellaneous Services section in CPT Medicine section.
 
I think performing emergency surgery on a Saturday is part of being "on call" and should not be thought of as needing additional reimbursement from the insurance or patient.
 
After Hours Cpt

For Services Provided In The Office after Regular Hours, Weekends And Or Holidays Is 99050. Medicine Section
