Wiki Documentation showing CPT code reimbursment using 80 modifer

[phillirk]

Is there a data or documentation/table website, which someone could direct me to where it would show if a particular CPT code could be reimbursed using modifier -80 (assistant surgeon)?

Realizing different carriers may or may reimburse, I was hoping to show my surgeon if Medicare would pay or not using the cms.gov website table, but I can't find what I am looking for there.

Thank you.
