New coder to Interventional radiology. we have a physician who does only interventional radiology codes like 75574, 75571, etc. my quesion is, if the provider is performing the test and reading it (at hospital outpatient) do we bill the procedure without the 26 modifier? thank you

You would bill it with modifier 26.

Unless your group owns the equipment you will use 26.

I have seen internet search responces stating that if the physician does the procedure he/she can bill the global cpt without a 26 modifier. It's so confusing. thank you for your responses.
