I have a physician who is questioning why we should use modifiers if he provides care for a problem unrelated to the pregnancy. I have instructed him to use modifier 24 if he has an unrelated E/M service, or 79 for an unrelated procedure, during the global OB care.
Does anyone know where I can find documentation that this is the appropriate way to code these services? (They always want to "see it written somewhere")
Thanks for any help!
