Wiki Modifier 26? - For the CPC exam, I'm not exactly

[Emingoy114]

For the CPC exam, I'm not exactly sure when to use it. All I know is that it's a professional component.
What does "professional component" actually mean?
I was reading the modifier book, do I use it when the case study states that the radiologist interprets an x ray?

I appreciate any help, thanks

Here's a link to fact sheets on a variety of modifiers, should help you understand better when to use them.
