I have a radiology claim with a 27 modifier. What is this modifier and can it be used on a radiology claim??
Thanks in advance for any help!

The 27 modifier is for facility E&M levels only. It is to indicate the second and subsequent Er or Clinic visit on the same day, so no it does not apply to radiology codes, only E&M.

could have been a typo - might have meant 26 mod (profee side)..??

That would make more sense, but it stands to reason the 27 would cause more confusion.
