Our facility bills out a claim for the facility fee on our surgeries and then we bill a separate professional claim for the physician fees. Our facility coder is telling us we need to bill a 26 modifier on our professional claim for procedure 44970 (Laparoscopic Appendectomy). Is this correct? I have never billed 26 modifiers on surgical codes before. Can someone please provide some insight? Thank you!
