Does anyone know where I can find a list that is CPT code specific for the AS modifer? Medicare is denying CPT codes 58263, 57260 and 57288 stating that AS modifier is not allowed with this code.

Thanks for the info. Do you know if there is a list more specific as to the type of provider that is the assistant surgeon? In our case, the AS is a physician assistant.
