Hi,
I kept getting denials for x-rays and procedures from 1000-6000 series for missing modifier.

That was a link-google search. 26-Professional, TC-Technical, ZS-Both Professional and Technical by the billing provider. The list goes on, but that's what I see.

All surgical procedure codes require a modifier. The primary surgeon or podiatrist is required to use AG on the only or highest valued surgical procedure code (10000-69999) being billed for the date of service. This does not include codes that require split bill modifiers. That is also in the link I posted above under Surgery: Billing with Modifiers. I think that information could help lead you in the right direction. Good luck!
