Hello,
Can someone please clarify for me the correct use of modifier 57, please?
To my understanding, this modifer is only to be used for surgeries that have a 90 day global period attached--am I correct?
Can someone please refer me to a printed source that shows the correct use of this code?
One of my providers is questioning the use of this code. He thinks that it can be used if a patient comes into the office for skin tag removal or a laceration repair and I need some sort of reference to take back to him.
Can someone please give me an example of when 57 would be appended?
Thanks.
