I have always thought that if a modifier -59 got added onto a claim accidentally that it wouldn't affect payment. I personally have been looking at claims for over seven years and have never seen a payer deny a line simply because there was a modifier -59 attached. However we are receiving a denial from Optimum stating that because we have a -59 modifier on a line when it shouldn't be there (but in reality it should), they're not paying *any* lines, and this is an almost six thousand dollar claim.
